New York musician and writer debuts heartwarming bedtime story about overcoming fears with family support
Musician and storyteller Harold Skeete has released his debut children’s book, The Monster Proof Blanket, a touching tale that blends humor, imagination, and the timeless bond between siblings.
The book follows two young brothers who share a bedroom. While they spend their days playing together, bedtime brings a challenge—the younger brother’s fear of monsters lurking in the shadows. With creativity and compassion, big brother steps in to calm those fears, showing that even the biggest worries can be overcome with a little help.
Skeete, a New York City–based musician who has performed in bands across genres from rock to jazz to children’s music, brings his performance background to the page with playful storytelling. Though much of his past writing consisted of short comedy sketches, The Monster Proof Blanket marks his first published children’s story—born from a creative misunderstanding during a children’s music show, when Skeete thought he was tasked with writing an original story to set to music.
“After that show, I started sketching out an idea, and it quickly became something bigger,” Skeete recalls. “I wanted to create a story that not only entertained but also gave children comfort. Fear is real, but with support, it can be conquered.”
The book emphasizes courage, imagination, and the reassurance that comes from family. Parents and children alike will find comfort in its message: fears can be softened, and safety can be found, with the love of those closest to us.
The Monster Proof Blanket is available now through Fulton Books.
