Cover of "The Night Tent" by Landis Blair

Watson is having trouble sleeping when he notices a mysterious light coming from under his covers which leads him down a path through a forest and onto a magical adventure. This is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. (Ages 4-8)

Watson is having trouble sleeping. He lies awake at night, doing his best not to think about the lurking, creeping things that might be hiding in his closet or under his bed. But the more he tries, the harder it gets. 

Then he notices a mysterious light coming from under his covers. When he takes a pee­k he discovers a beautiful, tented night sky full of twinkling stars. And because he isn't sleepy, he follows a path the stars show him. It leads him through a forest and onto an adventure that includes friendly creatures and a magical trolly ride to a tiny island with a very tall tower--and finally, sleep.

 

 

Cover of April Stott's "Find Your Brave: A Coco and Bear Story"

When Coco, a young girl, loses her brave during dress rehearsal for their special dance at the summer festival, she and Bear decide to quit the show, but when Bear gets stuck on a wobbly bridge, Coco bravely rescues him, so perhaps she has enough brave to join Bear onstage after all. (Ages 4-8)

Coco and Bear find their brave in this charming sequel to the New York Times bestseller Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light

Coco and Bear are excited to perform their super special dance at the summer festival...until Coco loses her brave during dress rehearsal! Bear offers to help Coco find it and they start by asking their friends: "How do you find your brave?" Even after trying their friends' suggestions, though, Coco still doesn't have her I-can-do-anything brave back. So she and Bear decide to drop out of the show. 

But when things take an unexpected turn and Bear gets into trouble, Coco quickly comes to his rescue. Could it be that her brave was never lost--it was just hiding behind her fear? And if that's true, then perhaps Coco has enough brave to join Bear on stage after all.
