We’re inviting you not simply to a book tour event, but into a live, guided conversation about childhood fear—and how it is held, shaped, and shared.
When neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Randolph B. Schiffer’s three-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia, he told eight bedtime stories—night after night—to his son and his older brother throughout treatment. These stories were not designed to comfort or distract, but to steady: to give fear shape, language, and limits, while a trusted adult voice stayed close.
Those stories became 𝘽𝙚𝙙𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙮 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣—a literary collection that explores fear, love, sacrifice, power, science, and moral courage. Only one story (DOG) directly addresses childhood fear; the others examine the fears embedded in living and loving, concluding with a final story that invites readers into their own unconscious reflection.
The evening forms part of the growing #ReadTogether movement, which reframes shared reading as a powerful tool for emotional resilience in a world that is not always kind.
