Laya is Afraid
by Carl Saathoff, Allison Saathoff
Laya is a little girl who has a very common fear among children. She believes that a scary, creepy Boogeyman monster is living under her bed and is ready to grab an arm, leg, toe or anything else sticking out from under the covers. She feels that no one believes her, so she turns to her grandpa for help. Grandpa listens and explains that the boogeyman lived under his bed when he was a little kid too. Just like Laya.. Then he tells her exactly how his mother rid his bedroom of that dreaded, awful creature. Problem solved.

Author Biography
Carl and Allison are a husband and wife team. Together they create children's books, with Carl writing the stories and Allison creating the illustrations. They produce stories that help children through some of the 'trying times' of little kid life. Children's problems are often dismissed or minimized as insignificant by adults. We say things like, Oh, it will be ok, and give it no further thought. But to the child, their problems are as big and important as ours. We want to show them how to handle those troublesome situations. Carl has a Master Photographer Degree, a Bachelor's Degree in Business Admin., and an Associates Degree in Applied Sciences. Allison is a middle school art teacher, and an Adjunct Professor of Art Education. After Carl writes the story, she creates the illustrations to complete the book. Together, they previously owned and operated two photography studios specializing in children, and now create children's books. They have also been blessed with an abundance of grandchildren.
