By Eugenia Perrella
Illustrated by Ana Suárez

A nighttime invitation to awaken the senses and set off on a journey that will surprise you.

Explanatory and educational: a book that scientifically explains nighttime phenomena like the Earth's rotation and orbit.

Magic and beauty: the text highlights the magic and beauty of the night.

An invitation to dream: an invitation for readers to dream about all the wonders of the night.

The sun has set, and night has fallen. Right at this moment, when everything seems so dark, a magical world begins. With poetic words that hint at a fascinating nighttime dance, we awaken our senses and set off on a journey that will surprise us, that will make us want to know more. We'll wonder (and find out): How does the sky twinkle, the ocean sparkle, the jungle pulse, and the sleeping city lull us with its magic? But that will only be the beginning of a boundless curiosity.

Espía la noche ("Spy on the Night") invites us to look closely, to open our eyes wide, to spy on everything that lights up, and to discover that the night shines in surprising ways. This book wants children to keep their curiosity alive and ask everything they can think of about the night. Some of these questions will find their answers.
