Of all the books we read over Christmas break, Nightmares! by
Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller was the biggest hit.
It’s a fabulous look at how children learn, grow, and conquer
fears.
It’s a good mix of creepy, fun
and growth from experience.
Nightmares! offers opportunities to talk about:
Fears
Friends
Family
Grieving
Art
Lifestyle choices
Super heroes
Individual strengths and weaknesses
And, things that go bump in the night.
We have dozens of helpful links on our Pinterest board to
help you get started.
Are you ready to face a fear?
How about starting with an easy challenge:
Charlotte’s pancakes.
