Benita and the Night Creatures

Author: Mariana LlanosIllustrator: Cocoretto

Benita is enjoying a bedtime read when a whole host of growling, grumbling creatures come to visit! But no matter how hard they try, nothing can tear her attention away from her book. Featuring spooky characters from Peruvian folklore, including Cuco, Tunche and Supay, this wonderfully playful story is full of imagination, humour and nighttime mischief. A lovely celebration of bedtime bravery, the magic of stories and the joy of getting lost in a good book.
