?What shall I think about, Mommy?? were the words I heard every evening from Matilda, after her father fell ill. Matilda was six years old and her sister Josefine was two years older. I began to give Matilda an idea to think about before she went to sleep each night. These ideas were just the starting points from which Matilda would develop a story, taking her thoughts on new journeys. It soon became a comforting bedtime routine. I discovered that it calmed her down and helped her cope with the distressing situation we were in.

This book contains both thought-provoking phrases for children to think about and from which they can create their own stories, and several other methods for coping with difficult and stressful situations. We hope it brings inspiration and comfort to you and others around you who are dealing with life?s challenges.
