Korby the Hedgehog: Scared of the Dark

Korby the Hedgehog: Scared of the Dark is a gentle, beautifully illustrated children's story for ages 3-8 that helps little ones face one of childhood's most common fears in a practical, comforting, faith-based way.

In this 28-page story, Korby is a lovable young hedgehog who enjoys family, nature, and outdoor fun with Papaw and Nana. But when the sun goes down and the night grows still, Korby begins to feel afraid. Through the loving patience and wisdom of his grandparents, he learns that darkness does not have to control his thoughts, his heart, or his peace.

Written to speak to real childhood emotions, this story helps children understand fear in a simple and reassuring way while offering calm, biblical encouragement they can carry into bedtime and everyday life. As Korby learns to see the night differently, young readers are gently reminded that they are not alone, that they are deeply loved, and that God is with them even in the dark.

This book includes Bible references woven naturally into the story, making it ideal for Christian families who want stories that do more than entertain. It encourages courage, trust, peace, and faith while helping parents and grandparents open meaningful conversations with children about fear, safety, and God's presence.

Korby the Hedgehog: Scared of the Dark is part of a faith-based children's series designed to help ages 3-8 work through real-life issues in practical, biblical ways through warm storytelling, family connection, and gentle truth. Perfect for bedtime, family reading, classrooms, and gift-giving.
