This is a story about overcoming fears by using creative imagination and positive validation.

Agatha and the Dark explores Agatha's fear of the dark, especially as the wintry sky outside her kindergarten window grows dimmer.

When Agatha accidentally finds herself alone in the dark while tidying away the art smocks, she becomes so frightened that she wobbles like jelly. Her teacher reassures her that everyone is afraid of something, but George only makes things worse with his chatter about monsters.

How will Agatha ever sleep in her own room tonight? What are those sounds outside her window? How many soft toys can she fit in her bed? And what if there really is a monster under her bed, like George said?

But with a little creativity and imagination, Agatha discovers she has the power to chase that monster away.
