After all, sometimes all you need is a good friend to help you be brave.

"In their delightful picture book debut, Maynor and Bonnet demonstrate that working through your fear is much better with a friend by your side."
Publishers Weekly:
"Maynor, making her debut, backs up her perceptive premise with solid comic writing (...)
Working in watercolor and pencil, Bonnet makes the repartee between the friends natural and appealing, and when Ella and Penguin finally screw their courage to the sticking place and enter the closet, the unleashed glowing is a payoff worth waiting for."
School Library Journal:
"The watercolor and pencil illustrations are sweet and add a subtle humor to the story and the soft lesson it's teaching."
Kirkus Reviews:
"The dark is not so scary after all. In fact, it’s beautiful!"
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books:
"Ella and Penguin are a charming pair, and plenty of kids will identify with their fears of the dark."
