The Deep Sea Countdown: A Calming Ocean Adventure for Toddlers (Lalo’s Calm Ocean - El océano tranquilo de Lalo) - Softcover
Synopsis
A gentle bilingual ocean story for little ones learning how to calm big feelings.
When bedtime comes, Lalo the Leafy Sea Dragon wants to explore the deep sea. But the water looks big, blue, and very deep. His little leafy fins begin to wiggle with nervous feelings.
With help from Mira the Dumbo Octopus, Lalo learns a soft countdown game from the ocean itself: bubbles float, kelp bends, pebbles wait, sea stars move slowly, and tiny lights glow in the dark. One small wonder at a time, Lalo discovers that calm can come back little by little.
Lee en español / Read in Spanish:
Cuando llega la hora de dormir, Lalo el dragoncito de mar hojita quiere explorar el mar profundo. Pero el agua se ve grande, azul y muy profunda. Sus hojitas empiezan a moverse con nervios.
Con la ayuda de Mira, la pulpita dumbo, Lalo aprende un juego suave de cuenta regresiva. Una burbuja sube, una alga se dobla, una piedrita espera, una estrella avanza despacio y una lucecita brilla. Maravilla por maravilla, Lalo descubre que la calma puede volver poquito a poquito.
