A gentle bilingual bedtime story about noticing sleepy body signs / Un cuento bilingüe tierno para notar las señales de sueñoLalo the Leafy Sea Dragon is not ready for bed. His little leaves are still bright, wiggly, and wide awake. Then he sees a tiny golden light in the deep blue sea. It belongs to Yani, a sweet little anglerfish with the biggest, roundest yawn.Together, Lalo and Yani watch the sleepy sea slow down: sea grass sways, clams close, shrimp tuck in, starfish soften, and tiny lights blink low. Little by little, Lalo learns a simple bedtime rhythm: Big yawn. Slow blink. Cozy tuck.Lee en español / Read in Spanish: Lalo, el dragoncito de mar hojita, todavía no tiene sueño. Sus hojitas siguen brillantes, inquietas y muy despiertas. Entonces ve una lucecita dorada en el mar azul y profundo. Es Yani, una pececita de luz con el bostezo más grande y redondito.Juntos miran cómo el mar baja el ritmo: el pastito marino se mueve despacio, las almejitas se cierran, el camarón se acurruca, la estrella de mar se suaviza y las lucecitas parpadean bajito. Poquito a poquito, Lalo aprende un ritmo tierno para dormir: Gran bostezo. Parpadeo lento. Acurruquito rico.Why families and teachers may love this book / Por qué puede encantarles a familias y maestros:
