When Davey realizes that his scary nighttime visitors are really his unacceptable angry feelings about his little sister, projected into the outside world, he feels free to express his anger in a healthy way.
Scary Night Visitors helps young children understand the sources of their bedtime fears, by showing how a young boy's scary visitors are projections of his own angry feelings toward his younger sister as well as his fear and worry that his bad wishes might come true. He discovers that his thoughts and wishes are not as powerful as he fears, so he can feel safe enough to let himself experience his emotions without imagining scary creatures.
