Fighting bedtime fears
Children and Bedtime Fears and Nightmares.
The inspiration behind Stuffed Courage: The Halloween Child came to Jason Borrego after personally dealing with a child that was afraid of everything that went bump in the night. I wanted to give my child a hero, something to help him combat the night terrors and fears created in his own mind. Thus, a hero teddy bear by the name of Coro Stuffs was born. The teddy bear was teamed with a little boy afraid of the monsters under his bed, and the epic adventure to build courage over these fears took life.
The seven-part book series by author Jason Borrego revolves around a young boy and a magical teddy bear known in the realm as a Protector of Dreams. Brought together by fate, the two must conquer countless fears in an original, imaginative fantasy world.
There are all kinds of terrors that scare children. This book is about building a special courage to combat common childhood fears. This adventure will bring the most unlikely heroes together in a frightening time of peril.
The book has helped in Jason’s children’s life, and he hopes it will help with your little ones as well.
