Reviews
In this rhyming picture book based on the author’s two children, Davis showcases a blondish brown–haired superhero who summons bravery despite his fear and fights monsters from his bed: “Though creaks and cracks and whirly sounds may sometimes cause a fright,// his superhero powers all lead to a good night.” Aided by a super sidekick and “best friend for now and ever more,” a curly-headed blonde child whose “wild roar” keeps the monsters at bay, the hero has no problem defeating the beasts before bed. Salin’s unlined digital art showcases the monsters as big-eyed creatures, often fluffy and brightly colored, and the children as peach-skinned figures with simplified facial expressions. Young readers concerned about nighttime monsters will find comfort in this soothing bedtime read. Back matter includes a Bible verse and a list of affirmations for children. Ages 1–8.(Self-published)
