A gentle English-Spanish bedtime story for little ones who feel nervous when the lights go low.

When the reef turns deep blue, Lalo sees shadows that feel too big. A long shape. Tiny white teeth. A deep sound in the water. Then Vico, a soft little vampire squid, shows Lalo three tiny dark-brave steps:

Look small. Name soft. Stay close.

This bilingual picture book helps toddlers and preschoolers explore fear of the dark through a sweet ocean story, expressive characters, and simple calming words parents can repeat at bedtime.

Lee en español / Read in Spanish:

Cuando el arrecife se vuelve azul profundo, Lalo ve sombras que se sienten demasiado grandes. Una forma larga. Unos dientecitos blancos. Un sonido profundo en el agua. Entonces Vico, un calamar vampiro suavecito, le enseña a Lalo tres pasitos valientes:

Mira poquito. Nombra suave. Quédate cerquita.

Este cuento bilingüe ayuda a los niños pequeños a mirar la oscuridad con calma, nombrar lo que ven y sentirse seguros cerca de alguien que los quiere.
