El Cucuy Is Scared, Too! by Donna Barba Higuera
3.0

Age: K-1st grade
Emotion: Nervous, scared
Bilingual text: Predominantly English with Spanish words and phrases

Ramon takes on the role of comforter as his bedroom boogeyman is scared about being in a new home and going to a new school. As they both commiserate together, they also build each other up to be brave for this new life change.

A quick and relatable read-aloud that is perfect for latinx children familiar with El Cucuy (although parents may not want him to appear so cute and cuddly lol).
