Luna y la estrella perdida
A bedtime story in Spanish about facing the fear of the dark, with a Caribbean heroine and a turquoise bird who makes kids laugh.
Spanish editionAbout the book
In Bahía Estrella, Luna can climb trees, swim through the waves and touch lizards without screaming. But there is one thing she does not like at all: the dark.
One night, a star disappears from the sky, and a very chatty turquoise bird named Tilo arrives with a star emergency. To bring it back, Luna will have to cross the Valley of Shadows… and discover that being brave doesn't mean you stop being afraid.
