An Almost Very Scary Day

Ever since the Little White Light started appearing to Penny, at night and in the morning hours, it blinked, reassuring her with its presence. But one night, it wasn't there. 

The next day, as Penny thought about the Little White Light's absence, her best friend MJ stopped by. No longer wanting to keep the secret of the Little White Light from him, Penny told MJ all about the light and how very special it was to her. 

While the children talked and worked in Penny's garden, they heard a frightening screeching and squawking coming from the side of the house. What could be making such a terrible noise? Facing a scary situation on their own, the children must find courage and compassion in the face of fear. 

This coming-of-age story about overcoming scary moments will resonate with children young and old. Beautifully illustrated and told in charming prose, An Almost Very Scary Day is a wonderful reminder about how magical even an ordinary day can be.
