El Cucuy Is Scared, Too! | Donna Barba Higuera
post image
Pickpick

#PNW debut author Donna Barba Higuera writes about moving to a new community and overcoming homesickness and fear of fitting in at school. I love the Spanglish, but still need more pronounciation and translation support before reading this out loud. Spanish is my 3rd language, I need more practice.

Finished “No Exit” by Taylor Adams. Now listening to this audiobook on Scribd. I highly recommend Scribd for your reading/listening. It‘s inexpensive and has so many books available. #boogeyman #killer #murders #true_events

Such a lovely and unexpected story. I don‘t know much about the culture of Southern US/mexico territory so learning about El Cucuy (aka the Mexican Boogeyman) was really interesting. In this case Ramon and El Cucuy have moved north and things are quite a bit different. The two comfort each other as they start this new life adventure. This was a great story. I loved the mix of spanish and english with no explanations. This was a great read.

mrp27 Growing up Hispanic in Southern California, Cucuy was very much part of my life. It was always used in terms of monsters and boogeymen like, "Let's watch a Cucuy movie" or in the grand style of 70's parenting it was, "If you don't behave the Cucuy is gonna come and get you!" 3y
LibrarianRyan @mrp27 That was exactly how it was explained in the authors note. I thought it was so interesting. 3y
mrp27 Ha! Good to know it‘s explained like that, I wasn‘t alone then in my upbringing. We were also threatened with tales of the ghostly La Llorona, the weeping lady. My Dad swore to me her saw her once. 3y
