A little boy knows for sure that there is a nightmare in his closet. Gentle colors create an even tone for the edgy black lines that reveal the anxiety felt by one and all as the story unfolds. Is the nightmare still in there? The boy decides one night that he is going to face his fear. Yes, the nightmare is there and out he comes. But when faced with the courage of the boy, the nightmare begins to falter. He even cries. Conquered, the nightmare is tucked reassuringly into the boy's bed. This is a thoughtful, empathetic exploration of children's fears and for that matter, for adult's fears. Turn and face them and watch what happens!
