Illustrated by
Noemà Villamuza.
Marc's mother provides outrageous remedies for his bedtime fears, such as giving him "mosquito-proof armor" and standing guard on the roof. But nothing works until she sits on his bed and says, "...tell me everything." Some views of Marc are almost too cute; however, the illustrations portray the mom's frantic efforts with humor and lend poignancy to the resolution.
