Illustrated by Nathalie Duroussy.
'If the night is dark and wild,
If the booming thunder wakes you . . .
If the slippery-fingered rain
Tip-taps on the windowpane,
If every single tap makes your heart feel like a stone,
If you feel you're all alone,
That's the time to come to me.
On my lap and in my arms, I will hold you safe and warm.
And all will be well.'
This is a soothing, reassuring picture book that will help banish any youngster's bedtime fears.
