Jayden is a seven-year-old boy with a vivid imagination and a playful heart. Though he is naturally happy and wants to be brave, when the sun sets and bedtime comes, he feels dread. He fears bedtime...mostly the monsters under his bed and other creatures unknown.
Then, on Jayden's eighth birthday, he receives a special gift that makes his nights less scary.
This book is intended for any child who struggles with the fear of bedtime.
