A boy and his monster confront their mutual fears in this unlikely friendship story that’s rooted in Mexican folklore



Ramón is a little boy who can’t sleep. He is nervous for his first day at a new school.

And El Cucuy is the monster who lives in Ramón’s cactus pot. He can’t 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 journey—and reveals how
comfort, bravery, and strength can be found through even the most
unexpected of friendships.
