If You're Afraid of the Dark, Add One More Start to the Night

This book is one of my favorites to give to people for encouragement! Pictures and whimsical and the verse makes me smile!

I absolutely loved and still treasure "If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow," so when I saw this one I had to add it to the collection. Its terrific too - really like a continuation of the first book which is neat - it has the same type of drawings and phrases that on the surface seem so simple but in fact are such wonderful truths/messages. I gave this to my cousin along with the first book as she goes on her journey to college....."if one day you must leave home...draw stars on the bottom of your shoes to light your way back." Just such a wonderful book. Hard to describe the depth in the simplicity.

I grew up with a copy of "If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow" on my bookshelf, and love it. I came to appreciate it in different ways as I got older, and have given it as gifts on many occasions. This morning, I failed a major exam, and was in my local bookstore doing Christmas shopping as a grief-management attempt. There, I picked up this book, and read through it. It made me cry, but it was exactly what I needed. In the last three hours, I have read this book over and over again. "If your world has come undone... fasten it securely to the horizon.""If you're at the end of your rope... untie the knot in your heart.""If you become lost... make wherever you are look like home."I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with major life changes as an inspirational book, as well as to parents who wish to give their children a book which they can appreciate now, grow into later, and cherish forever.
