In El Cucuy Is Scared, Too!, a boy and his monster confront their mutual fears in this unlikely friendship story thats rooted in Mexican folklore from Newbery Medal and Pura Belpré Award-winning author Donna Barba Higuera and illustrator Juliana Perdomo. Ramón is a little boy who cant sleep. He is nervous for his first day at a new school. And El Cucuy is the monster who lives in Ramóns cactus pot. He cant sleep, either. It turns out that El Cucuy is scared, too! This gentle, perceptive story explores the worries that can accompany moving to a new place and beginning a new journeyand reveals how comfort, bravery, and strength can be found through even the most unexpected of friendships. Higuera fluidly intersperses Spanish words throughout the text, and their meanings can be inferred from context. . . . These additions grant a depth to Ramóns backstory and show his individuality while highlighting the differences he may encounter in his unfamiliar environment. Perdomos digital illustrations in vibrant hues pay homage to Ramóns heritage. The Horn Book Magazine Also available:Its Navidad, El Cucuy!
