Nightlights: Stories and Advice to Help Your Child Discover Peace, Confidence, and Creativity

Rating:
Summary: Engaging, imaginative book for parent and child
Review: I read this book nightly to my 7-yo. It begins with information for parents on ways to use the book to connect with their kids. Written in a soothing tone, the stories begin asking the child to imagine a magic lantern that takes him/her on a path into each story. Quite uniquely told. At the end of these creative stories are "affirmations" that reinforce messages in the stories, but also offer opportunity to connect with your child by opening thoughtful, quiet conversation. Sounds new-age-y, but very effective. Illustrations are stunning. Wonderful!
