Genre: Children’s Fiction, Multicultural Interest

Bedtime is here, but Jade is much too scared to fall asleep—who knows what could be hiding in the dark? Jade lets her imagination run away from her, dreaming up all kinds of scary monsters until she is sure she won’t be able to sleep at all.

Luckily, Jade is very brave.

My thoughts:

As night falls Jade fears all the unknown sounds and shadows in her room. Her imagination runs wild as she can only see the worst scenarios in her head. But a unique surprise shows her how to brave the night.

This book has vivid, dark pictures showing us what a little girl sees during bedtime. This book was entertaining for my 5 year old with the rhyming sentences and understanding how things tend to look different than what we imagine them to be. Great story and would recommend to any child who fears the dark.
