Believe Your Eyes (Cici: A Fairy's Tale #1) par Cori Doerrfeld
I read this with my daughter in Spanish (she had to translate quite a bit of it for me). She was truly freaked out by the chickens! But we had a good conversation about what the chickens symbolize (lol). I'm going to get the other books in the series for her even though she said the chickens were like a nightmare. It's hard for me to find high-low books in Spanish for her (high interest for an 8yo, with a lower reading level because her Spanish reading comprehension is more like 2nd grade).
A little boy likes to hide under his cover. Everywhere he goes, he has the blanket over his head.
His astute grandfather does not tell him to get rid of the blanket, rather, he talks of nature and all that is "beneath.' In the forest, there are huge trees, and beneath them and large, thick roots that hold them to the earth. A boat out on the body of water sits on the top, but beneath are all kinds of fish, large ones, small ones and a diversity of color as well. High up in the tree is a mother bird sitting on her nest, beneath her are four eggs. A fox is digging the earth because underneath down in the dirt and small animals.
As his grandfather teaches him about beneath, he slowly takes the blanket that covered his body, and now his face, hands and legs are visable. And, the grandfather tells him that beneath something solid there also can be something hollow such as a raccoon family who nest at the bottom of the nook of the tree. Beneath, baby hatchlings are forming from seeds.
Finn sees a pregnant woman and asks if something can be beneath a person. Grandfather tells him that everyone is more than what you see.
And, his intelligent grandfather tells Finn that "beneath someone who looks like they won't understand (referencing himself in relation to Fiin,) is someone who knows exactly how you feel." The grandfather is letting Finn know that he does understand him and his need to hide. But now, Finn takes his blanket and gently puts it over his very special grandpa.
Finn is excited by his newfound discoveries. As they both climb and watch the stars, Finn broadly smiles and lets his grandfather know he understands they are both beneath the stars, and beneath the stars are two people who care about each other a lot.… (plus d'informations)

Great for kids!
This is certainly for younger readers as everything is spelled out, but there is some heart here that makes it stand out. I think the story had a great message: When you're acting ugly towards others, you are the true ugly one, and don't judge people from appearance alone. You never know what someone's going through or who may become a great friend one day.

I hadn't read the first book, but I picked up the story quickly.
