      Mała dziewczynka zwierza się babci ze swoich lęków – boi się piratów, potworów, wielkiego psa sąsiada, wampirów. Babcia oswaja lęki dziewczynki, proponując jej za każdym razem inną zabawną sytuację do wyobrażenia. Owo wypowiedziane przez babcię „Wyobraź sobie” pomaga przezwyciężyć dziecięce lęki i niepokoje. Przecież piraci nie są tak straszni, jeśli odłożą szpady i zaczną bawić się lalkami! No i jak tu bać się wampira ze smoczkiem w buzi? Tekst wielokrotnie nagradzanej irlandzkiej autorki z pięknymi ilustracjami Eliny Brasliny to krzepiąca opowieść o sile wyobraźni i humoru w walce ze strachem.
