Nightlights -- A colorful addition to the parenting bookshelf, Nightlights helps children overcome their fears and build confidence and creativity. In a unique approach, it brings three distinct elements together: practical advice, vibrant storytelling, and beautiful illustrations. In the first section, acclaimed psychologist and author David Fontana shows parents how to build self-assurance in kids (aged 4–8) through stories and reflection. The second part includes 20 stories written just for this book by various children’s authors for parents and young ones to read together, all vividly illustrated with joyful artwork. Crafted to be both subtle and effective, each meditative story addresses a childhood issue or theme in positive ways. This is storytelling that’s not only delightful in itself, but also offers tools and life lessons for well-being and peace of mind for children—and their parents.

David Fontana, Ph.D. , is a professor of psychology and the author of the best-selling Learn to Meditate (0-8118-2250-8), Teach Yourself to Dream (0-8118-1628-1), and numerous other books. He lives in Wales.

Anne Civardi , who edited these stories, is the author of over 40 children’s books and is a children’s book editor in the UK.
