English Description:

Buenas noches, Simón by Amaia Arrazola is a gentle and imaginative picture book that dual-language educators can use to explore nighttime fears, friendship, and emotional reassurance in Spanish. The story centers on Simón the chameleon and his friend Melvin the bat, who feels sad and uneasy when darkness falls. As Simón tries to show Melvin the beauty of the night—fireflies, dreams, and nocturnal companions like Bruna the owl—the narrative unfolds with warmth and empathy. With vibrant illustrations and authentic Spanish text, this book is ideal for early elementary classrooms focused on social-emotional learning, descriptive language, and comforting bedtime routines. It encourages children to see nighttime not as something to fear, but as a space filled with wonder and connection.
