Midnight Navigation stems from the emotions of a mother as she prepares her daughter for a peaceful night's sleep. The author’s daughter used to have trouble falling asleep and became anxious about being alone. As the author observed her daughter growing older and playing make-believe, she was inspired to write Midnight Navigation.
Perhaps going to sleep and being alone in the dark is like setting off on a journey to a faraway land. The author learned from her own experience that opening your eyes after such a journey is part of growing up healthy and leading a happy life. Midnight Navigation shows what the late-night hours mean to children from their perspective.
