Monster-Scared by Betina Birkjær, illustrated by Zarah Juul, is a picture book about the monster living in the attic. Not a loud monster — a quiet one. It's probably making a kid t rap. And every night, it grows in the dark, because everyone knows monsters feed on darkness. With humour and charm, the book captures exactly how the things we can't see get bigger and scarier — how a sound or a shadow is enough to send shivers down a spine — and gently lands on the idea that monsters are, perhaps, mostly scary in our imagination.
