Local author creates a nighttime book she can read to her children.
Melessa Henderson viewed some children’s nighttime books as dark and scary. Instead of ignoring those books completely, she decided to make her own.
“I wanted to create a nighttime book for children that was comforting, because nighttime is a primary time parents read to their children,” says the Minnetonka resident.
Night—A Counting Backwards Book has now been honored in the 2011 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards and as a finalist in the ForeWord’s 2011 Book of the Year Awards under the Picture Book (Children’s) category.
