Waverly May is visiting Lake Michigan for the first time. But what does she hear as she walks down the path towards the beach? Are those monsters roaring? With dragons, slime monsters, and ogres on the loose, how can Waverly May survive? With the help of her creative parents, Waverly May learns that she can tame any monster that comes her way! In this delightful children's story, the seemingly irrational fears that children experience are validated and turned into opportunities for bravery, growth, and adventure. Blake and Becky Kooi are licensed counselors who use their knowledge of child development to empower children and adults to cope with the fears, frustrations, and fulfillment of growing up. Through their work as counselors, Blake and Becky have noticed that many mental and emotional struggles come from how people have been taught to react to life's obstacles. In Waverly May and the Monsters of Lake Michigan, children ages 4 to 9 will learn to overcome their fears while parents of all ages will learn to join their children in that battle.
