Little kids often shiver with fear when they think of monsters lurking under thebed, inside the closet, or behind the curtains. What they don’t know is that these monsters are more like them than they realize. Illustrator Max Walter and author Nellie Walter shine a whimsical flashlight on these creepy creatures in a different way in their new book, Just Like You, an Xlibris release.In this amusing picture book, young readers come face-to-face with monsters, but there is no need to be afraid. These monsters make mistakes, argue with their friends, like to get messy, and are even scared of the dark! With each silly scenario, it becomes clearer that monsters are just like children--- only bigger, hairier, and weirder, and that is not reason enough to fear them. After all, “ Just like you, monsters also judge what they see. Beauty lies within our hearts. This is true for you and me!”Just Like You relieves the fears children have created through their own imaginations and shows them the value of judging a person or monster based on his or her character, rather than appearance.
