Night of the Alebrijes - Paperback

by Annie Nova (Author)

When Diego visits his grandmother Lita's house, he expects bedtime soup, not bedtime magic.

But one moonlit night, strange lights shimmer through the hallway, and the fog outside begins to whisper. That's when the alebrijes-Lita's hand-carved wooden creatures-come to life.

Tuk-Tuk the armadillo rolls into action. Chispa the spotted bunny bounces with excitement. And Coatlín, the feathered serpent, reveals an ancient truth: a fog called La Niebla is growing stronger, stealing stories and dreams.

With the help of his unlikely companions, Diego must step into the unknown to protect the dreamworld-and discover the Dreamkeeper he was meant to be.

A lyrical, illustrated chapter book inspired by Mexican folk art and the power of imagination, The Night of the Alebrijes is perfect for readers who believe that stories matter, dreams are alive, and even the smallest hero can face the fog.
