For one night / Por una noche
Mario Lillo · illustrated by Roberto Cubillas
Bilingual Book Walk Story
The Aymara people of the Bolivian highlands did not have nights; there was daylight all 24 hours of the day, making it difficult to sleep. Amaru and Kusi want to help their people and begin borrowing nighttime from animals such as the guinea pig and the puma. Searching for the right amount of night, they discover the immensity of the universe.
