Haven’t you noticed that it is easier to ease children’s simplest concerns and fears if we encourage them to open up about what troubles them, and that it often helps to gently poke a bit of fun at what seems to be the matter? My children and I eventually figured out that the huge scary monster would shrink into a pitiful tiny bug when we talked about it, and dissected it with some light-hearted reasoning and laughter.

Thunder and Lightning is another story from the Jenny&Josh‘s series.

Thunder and Lightning is a work in progress. You might have noticed that the illustrations’ style is different from The Worldly Tooth Fairy‘s. I enjoy ‘experimenting’, and since I happen to be undecided about which illustrations I like better, your input would be much appreciated. Thank you.
