A story for children aged 3–6 about fear of the dark, imagination, and the courage to face what scares us.

Olivia is afraid of the dark. Every night, strange creatures called Buiospettri appear in her room, until a magic phrase gives her the courage to face them, and discover they’re not so scary after all. 

This book was a complete creative journey, from concept and story development, to character design, illustration, layout and print production.
