Full Description

A little boy fears the darkness and strange noises of night. To overcome his fears, he begins to think of the night as a pajama--a temporary covering that keeps you safe until daylight returns when you no longer need it. As he keeps repeating, “The night is just a pajama,” he slowly drifts away into a restful sleep.

About The Author

Pedro Mañas

Pedro Mañas was born in Madrid, Spain, and has focused his entire professional life on children's literature. Although he is especially known for his series such as Anna Kadabra and Dragon Princesses, he has also written poetry, picture books and, more recently, children's comics. His works have earned him various national and international awards. His works emphasize humor, originality, and the ability to recreate the fantastic side of everyday life.

Guridi

Guridi is the son of a draftsman and a painter, and has always had a pencil in his hand. He studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Seville. In 2000, he started teaching drawing to high school students. In 2010, he began illustrating children’s books and has created stage designs for theater and dance productions. Some of his books have been translated into more than 14 languages.

Book Reviews

“Translated from Spanish, this poetic text, with its spare, slightly odd syntax, is set against full-page blue, gray, and black swaths of color; the art is equally simple but arresting. The message is reassuring and, for the now cozily pajama-clad child, sleep-inducing. An artful ode to reframing one’s fears and getting comfortable with the dark.”
