Dread in the Dark / Baqdintii Mugdiga

Elliot has a new baby sister-and a new bedroom farther from Mom and Dad. At night, strange growls and rattles rise from under his bed, and Elliot becomes convinced a monster is hiding in the dark.

In this warm bilingual story, Elliot and his dad work together to uncover the real cause of the mysterious noises. A gentle tale about nighttime fears, big changes at home, and the comforting power of understanding.

Based on the bilingual edition Dread in the Dark published by Wickwick Ltd, featuring expressive artwork by Catty Flores and a child-centered narrative by Tuula Pere.
