I wrote 'My Friend, the Light' in my mind when my son was a little over two years old. After transitioning from his crib, I saw how his nightlight made him feel safe when it was time to go to sleep in his 'big boy' bed. I would see him smile when I turned the nightlight on just before leaving his room, after reading him a story. I knew other young children felt afraid of the dark too and wanted to share this experience so they could feel the comfort of a nightlight as well. Hope you and your child enjoy this book! Also, makes a great baby shower or birthday gift!
