Pimeän peikko / Φόβος στο Σκοτάδι

Eino on saanut vauvasiskon. Hänellä on nyt uusi oma huone, jossa hän voi rauhassa koota niin suuria palikkalinnoja kuin tahtoo. Mutta Einolla on suuri huoli. Uni ei tule uudessa huoneessa yhtä hyvin kuin isän ja äidin lähellä. Lisäksi sängyn alle on pesiytynyt pimeän peikko. Siellä se murisee joka yö, vaikka muut eivät usko. Lopulta oudon äänen syy löytyy isän avustuksella, ja Eino saa taas nukkua rauhassa. Tässä lämpimässä kaksikielisessä tarinassa Eino (Elliot) ja hänen isänsä selvittävät yhdessä outojen äänien todellisen lähteen. Tarina käsittelee lempeästi pimeänpelkoa, perheen muutoksia ja sitä, miten ymmärrys ja läheisyys auttavat lasta tuntemaan olonsa turvalliseksi. -- Elliot has a new baby sister-and a new bedroom farther from Mom and Dad.
