Franklin in the Dark

The way Franklin's fears are illustrated really captures the imagination. I wonder if the author wanted to show that fears can be part of growing up or if there was a specific reason for this visual approach.

This story feels like it could speak to kids struggling with their own worries. I'm curious whether readers found it empowering or if some fears still felt unaddressed for them.

The story manages to be both funny and meaningful without feeling preachy. I wonder what her process was in making that tone work so well for children.
