A LIGHTHEARTED TAKE ON FEARS OF THE DARK: Birkjær describes fear of the monster living in the attic from the humorous perspective of a little boy. When the mother convinces him to go up to the attic, there’s nothing to be afraid of—or so they think. The last page reveals two cute monsters that had been there all along. AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Betina Birkjær is the author of COFFEE, RABBIT, SNOWDROP, LOST, a 2022 Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Book, a finalist for the 2022 Kirkus Prize in Young Readers’ Literature, and a USBBY Outstanding International Book of 2022.
