The Washington Post includes Donna Barba Higuera and Juliana Perdomo’s THE UNLIKELY AVENTURAS OF RAMÓN AND EL CUCUY on list of Librarian Picks for Best New Books for Kids this Fall

The Washington Posts’ description of THE UNLIKELY AVENTURAS OF RAMÓN AND EL CUCUY:

“A cucuy — a mythical monster in Latin American folklore — shows up in Ramón’s life just as he’s facing an even bigger fear: the first day at a new school. Ramón and the cucuy end up forging a quick friendship that sets each up for their own version of success. Sprinkled with Spanish and brimming with humorous details, this heavily illustrated story was inspired by the author’s own childhood fears. (Ages 5-8, Amulet)”
