What Are You Afraid Of? - Paperback

by F. L. Marshall (Illustrator), F. L. Marshall (Author)

As loving parents, we often struggle with how to explain ordinary things to the growing inquisitive minds of our children. Their fears, curiously, and questions spring up at the most inopportune times, such as bedtime.
One of the stories in this book is loosely based on the youngest daughter of F. L. Marshall, when she was 3 years old. Much like countless other children she was afraid of lightning and the accompanying thunder. Whenever a thunderstorm rolled in overnight, F. L. Marshall was awakened by a knee wedged in his back, or by a little uninvited head resting on his pillow. Follow "Jack" and his friends through their adventures as he attempts to help children overcome their greatest fears and have some fun along the way.
If you have a child that is afraid or curious about things they encounter at night this book would be a fantastic addition to bedtime reading. You are sure to fall in love with this whimsical blend of folklore with a modern spin.
