March 2016, Red Mountain Shadows Publishing, 18 minutes, Audiobook (& Paperback), Review copy
Summary from Amazon UK (I don't benefit by mentioning them)
In each of these stories, a mother helps her little girl understand her
fears at night. Shadows In My Room: Kayla sees shadows in her room that
disturb her. Her mother answers all her questions about each shadow
that she points to, and helps her to calm down and go to sleep. What’s
That Noise: Amber hears noises that disturb her such as the wind and
thunder. Her mother teaches Amber to use her imagination by turning
something fearful into something fun.
Nayu's thoughts
Here are several reassuring tales for anxious
sleepers. I thought there were only 2 stories so was happily
surprised when I heard more being told. They really address the
worries both children and adults have about the dark, including fear
of shadows, the wind, thunder, and the bizarre ability to deny being
tired at bedtime.
I loved listening to the engrossing tales. The
narrator Heidi Allred did all the sounds and used different voices for
each character. The way the mother came up with suggestions for
everything was impressive, and ones I'll try and remember if I need
them later. I can't think of a night fear which wasn't covered in
these short yet fun listens that can quite easily. These can easily be listened to one
each night rather than all in one go. Unfortunately even knowing
shadows are just shadows, having an imaginative mind can make
nighttime a tricky situation, especially when wakimg from a
nightmare, and Linda's book goes a long way to making sleep much easier for everyone.
