“Bedtime for Ella”, a new children’s book, offers a fun and imaginative way to help young readers tackle night-time fears. Written in a rhyming format, the story follows Ella, a young girl who encounters a friendly monster named Giggly Furbottom in her bedroom. Rather than being scared, Ella learns that laughter is a powerful tool to face her fears, turning what could have been a frightening experience into an exciting adventure.
The book, aimed at children aged 3 to 7, focuses on themes of courage, friendship, and the power of imagination. Through her interactions with Giggly Furbottom, Ella demonstrates how children can overcome fear with humour and trust. The story highlights the importance of building positive relationships and shows how bravery and a sense of wonder can transform difficult moments into opportunities for growth.
“Bedtime for Ella” is the first in a series of planned books featuring the character Ella and her adventures in the magical world of Storyland. At the centre of these stories is Goose in Gold, Ella’s grandfather and a storyteller who creates exciting tales for children. Storyland, the fictional setting, is a vibrant world filled with golden fields, sparkling lakes, and fantastical creatures, designed to engage young readers’ imaginations and provide an escape from reality.
The book also introduces key developmental benefits for young readers. According to the author, “Bedtime for Ella” aims to teach:
- Creativity and Imagination: Vivid descriptions of Storyland and its characters encourage children to think beyond the ordinary.
- Courage and Adventure: Facing new challenges alongside Ella helps young readers understand the excitement of overcoming fears.
- Friendship and Trust: Ella’s relationship with Giggly Furbottom underscores the importance of forming trusting friendships.
- Appreciation of Nature: Through Storyland’s diverse settings, children learn to value the natural world.
This is the first book in a planned series, with future titles like “Ella’s Forest of Letters” and “Ella and The Magic of Seven!” set to continue Ella’s adventures.
“Bedtime for Ella” is available now on Amazon, offering parents a fun, engaging way to make bedtime a positive and imaginative experience for their children.
