The Spooky One

We all have a little monster living with us. No matter how hard we try, we just can’t seem to shake it off. But then, one day, we learn to live side by side, and that brings us peace.
This story is narrated and illustrated in such a simple and fluid way that we almost miss the depth hiding beneath the surface.
The tenderness of the text and illustrations makes this book a valuable tool for initiating meaningful conversations with children about the emotions that are hardest to express, such as fear, anger, and shame.
