This bilingual picture book helps promote courage and fearlessness and help children learn about the unexpected friendships that can blossom from unlikely encounters, encouraging little ones to be open-minded and accepting of others. Inspired by the true story of a childhood dream that Guillermo del Toro has shared in many public interviews, Kid del Toro tells the story of a curious boy who has an unruly obsession with monster books. In the dead of night, he needs his books to keep him company, but finds a monster lurking in his bedroom. He must face his fears or risk Abuela taking his books away—forever! * This is an independently authored and published account of a childhood experience of Guillermo del Toro as heard through public interviews, and no affiliation with or endorsement by Mr. Del Toro is claimed or implied.
