Small Blue and the Deep Dark Night

A good story to help children understand their own power over their own imagination, and how to channel it for the positive.  It opens with Small Blue waking in the dark of night, thinking creepy thoughts, imagining goblins in his room, and calling for help.  When Big Brown comes to the rescue and Little Blue shares his imaginings, Big Brown suggests that if it’s dark, it could just as likely be a “delightful doggies’ Saturday-night unicycle convention” that was in the room.  In search of some soothing warm milk, the two progress through the dark house, with repeated opportunities to face new dark areas, and each time cheerful alternatives are suggested when scary possibilities are proposed.  By the end Small Blue has learned to manage his own imagination when he wakes in the dark.
