The story, Henry Listens Harder, is in the form of a lyric poem, complete with color photography. It is designed to help children overcome their fear of noises in the nighttime. When Henry complains to his mother of noises in the house at night, she tells him to "listen harder." Then he will realize that the noises he hears at night are the same noises he hears in the daylight. Henry also uses his simple faith in a Heavenly Father to trust that he will be safe through the night under God's care.
