Ruby and Pip's First Night Alone

The room is dark. The night is long. And Ruby is on her own for the very first time. Ruby is not afraid of puddles. She is not afraid of thunder. She is not even afraid of the big slide at the park. But tonight is her first night in her very own room - and when the little lantern clicks off, the coat on the hook stops looking like a coat, and something outside goes scritch... scratch. Then Ruby hears something else. Something very small, very close, and very scared. It's Pip. And it turns out that being brave is a whole lot easier when someone needs you to be. Inside this book: - A warm, rhythmic read-aloud with page turns built for little listeners - A gentle way into the dark that never makes it scarier - Soft watercolour illustrations made for slowing down at the end of the day - Bonus pages: "The Pocket Trick" bedtime ritual, a For Grown-Ups guide, Pip's Brave Badge, and a keepsake page Perfect for children ages 3-5 who are moving into a room of their own, sleeping without a night light, or who just need a story where the smallest one turns out to be the brave one.
