ABOUT THE SERIES
After watching her young son struggle with pandemic-related anxiety and connecting with other parents whose kids were experiencing the same, Zoe Twitt realized her son was not alone. This inspired her to create the Adelaide and The Cosmic Rescue Squad series.

Each book includes usable tools such as an audiobook, guided meditation, and an activity.

She shows them how to spread the golden light all around, to help others who are also scared of the dark. Available September 1, 2023.
