Review:
Teresa's Shadow is a picture book about a young girl who is afraid of the dark. One night Teresa finds a monster in her room. What should she do? Teresa must try to face her fear of the dark, while helping her new friend face his fears, so that he can find his way home.
This is a wonderful book that will help children, who are afraid of the dark, realize that not all noises or shadows are something to be afraid of. The cute illustrations complete this wonderful story.

This sounds like an excellent book for children. I remember my own childhood fears--though it was a long time ago!
I'm impressed how you support other writers here on your blog. I just read the interview with Renee Hand. I'm especially interested with what she's done with marketing. Yes, I know that's crucial and will take a lot of time. But I'm looking forward to it with my own book. I think it will be exciting.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post, especially since it's been a while since I've come over here to your bright, cheery place.

Hi Susanne .. this seems an excellent book to help children through at an age when they're struggling with things like the dark ..
We had an old cold dark toilet in the back washroom .. and I always thought that Mr Wolf was in the loo .. so used to dash away as soon as I could!! (Red Riding Hood days).
Cheers - love the video .. Hilary
Sounds delightful! Thanks for sharing, Susanne. Jennifer's book is on my list.
Sounds like a wonderful picture book! Thanks for the tip :)
this sounds like a wonderful book! I'll keep it in mind for the little ones on my gift-list. Thanks Suzanne! :o) <3
What a neat twist to the "afraid of the dark" story. Children should love the idea that the monster that scares them at night is also afraid of the light.
Thanks for the review, Susanne.
Best of luck with your story, Jennifer.
Sounds like a good one for the kids! :)

Hi, Donea. Nice to see you stop by for a visit. Have a great day!
At first I couldn't figure out why the book was only 16 pages. Then I got it. Yep, sometimes I'm a little slow. ;)
Sounds like a great book.
