In this whimsical new children’s book, Chloe’s Little Secret, published by GOOD PUPPY, Marina Tito and Lorenzo Di Alessandro summon a willful little girl, Chloe, to storm over any fear of the unknown with complete control over its vital source, imagination. In a game of self-discovery, Chloe shines a light on her most priced possession, the friendship she built with the monster in her closet. In a tribute to an integrated personality, Chloe tells all about Floyd, her monster friend, with love and compassion, pointing the way to a positive outlook and understanding as the happy road to self-knowledge. Chloe is not afraid. She calls the monster out and gives him a name. She gets to know her monster and cares for him well. Pulling from the dark corners of the imagination nothing but allies, flower eating monsters that can dance really well and would even catch you if you fell, well, it isn’t easy, you need to know them first, check their spelling, brush their teeth, Chloe shows us how anyone can do it if they put their heart into it. Rising above fears, anxieties and insecurities, Chloe’s Little Secret is a reminder of how perspective defines our personal universe and by adjusting our own lens, we can turn a monster into our best friend. Recommended for children, ages 3 to 300, or anyone suffering from fears, anxieties or insecurities. No side effects have been reported.

“Monster in the closet? fear no more after you read this wonderful story”
Five Star Review on Amazon By Beverly Clark
This is definitely a must read for all children. I think every parent/grandparent has gone through the monster in the closet, under the bed or hanging around somewhere in the shadows. Our main character in this story is named Chloe and she handles the problem that plagues so many children – the monster in the closet.
My granddaughter went through the monster in the closet phase and I wish I would have had this book five years ago. When I came across it the timing was perfect as my grandson is two and my granddaughter is now seven. They more than enjoyed this story. A plus rating from a grandparent and retired teacher.
