AlbakiReads Editorial

A bilingual bedtime game beneath the night sky

As bedtime approaches, Mother Sky calls Little Night in for a bath made with falling stars. Little Night has other plans: she is hiding and invites her mother to search for her in places ranging from a rabbit hole to a blueberry field. Yuyi Morales frames the hide-and-seek game through sky, nature, and nighttime imagery, with English and Spanish text presented together. The bedtime setting gives the story a clear place in a familiar evening routine, while the search supplies its central thread.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families seeking a bedtime story with a hide-and-seek premise
  • Young children encountering English and Spanish together
  • Readers interested in nighttime and nature imagery in picture books

Book overview

A stunning bilingual story by award winning author and illustrator Yuyi Morales's Little Night / Nochecita.

"A treasure for bedtime, or anytime." --School Library Journal

As the long day comes to an end, Mother Sky fills a tub with falling stars and calls, "Bath time for Little Night!"

Little Night answers from afar, "Can't come. I am hiding and you have to find me, Mama. Find me now!"

Where could Little Night be? Down a rabbit hole? In a blueberry field? Among the stripes of bees? Exquisitely painted and as gentle as Little Night's dress crocheted from clouds, this is a story to treasure.

With a bilingual text in both English and Spanish, Little Night Nochecita by Yuyi Morales is a sweet story every child can enjoy.
