Nightmares are scary. They can keep children up at night and make them afraid to fall asleep. The authors, Jade and Mimi MacKilligan (both age nine), with help from Dr. Kristine Bertini (their step-mom, who is a clinical psychologist and author) and Gus the Famous Cat wrote this book for those of all ages who have had bad dreams. Their book teaches those young and older alike how to fall asleep filled with warmth, comfort and happy thoughts. The reader can find Gus tucked away on almost all of the pages; try to find him! We have left Gus out of a few of the pictures so children can draw him in themselves if he is not there! Our talented illustrator, Dorette Amell, created the imaginative and true to life images that capture how we can all have happier dreams. Nightmares... THEY DON'T SCARE US provides children with practical and fun solutions for ending bad dreams. Quiet night time activities are suggested that will help everyone reading this book to fall asleep with images of their favorite things in their heads and pictures of happy times under their pillow. May you always have good dreams!
