Theo T Rex can't Sleep: A Story About Feeling Safe at Night

Does this sound familiar? It's dark, something rustles outside, and a shadow is dancing on the wall. Your child pulls the blanket up to their nose - but that only helps a little.That's exactly how little Tiko the dinosaur feels. In "T-Rex Tiko Can't Sleep," he lies awake in bed, barely daring to breathe. What was that sound? Where does that shadow come from? Tiko wants to be brave, but alone in the dark everything feels so big and strange. Until Mom T-Rex comes, sits down beside him, and patiently explains what the tree does when the wind blows, why the moon casts shadows on the wall, and that the night is actually much quieter than it sounds. Bit by bit, Tiko's world gets smaller and more familiar again - until his eyes close all on their own.This story isn't a big adventure.
