Learn the Inspiration Behind Tiny's Newest Act of Bravery
It’s so easy to be afraid, especially when you’re young. When I was little and the lights switched off, my imagination switched on. I’d sit in bed peeking out from the covers, conjuring in my mind spooky beasts from shadows and monsters from hat racks. Much like Tiny’s mother, my own mom would remind me that I could still be brave even if I was afraid, and that light could be found, no matter how dark or scary life seemed to get. She was right.
—Jonathan Stutzman
"It is our first campout in the backyard, and we are nervous. We have never slept outside before."
"We are mighty beasts. I am a Rex, Pointy is a Pointy, and Bob is my special squish."
"But even mighty beasts get scared if we can’t sleep with our nighty-lights."
"When I am inside, the dark doesn’t seem so dark. But when I am outside, the dark is VERY dark."
