Ramón cannot sleep. His first day at a new school is coming, and the worries feel much too big for bedtime.
Then Ramón discovers he is not the only one feeling afraid. El Cucuy, the monster in his cactus pot, is scared too.
This gentle picture book turns a famous figure from Mexican folklore into an unexpected friend. As Ramón and El Cucuy talk through their fears, the story gives young readers a warm, reassuring look at moving, starting over, and finding courage with someone beside you. Softly spooky and full of heart, it is a comforting read for children facing new places, new people, or a night when their thoughts will not settle down.
