El Cucuy Is Scared, Too! by Donna Barba Higuera

5.0

This is a really fun and also comforting book all about a little boy and El Cucuy, a creature who is supposed to be scary, but Ramón has bigger worries like settling into his new home and town, and starting a new school. The story of their bond where they explore their emotions and comfort each other is really sweet and reassuring. I enjoyed the mixture of Spanish and English words in the text by Donna Barba Higuera.

Juliana Perdomo's graphic and appealing characters, colour palettes and environments are wonderful!
