The First Sleepover

Sofía is still serious. But her friend invites her to jump on
the bed, and soon the giggles start.
Boing, boing, boing!

Sofía is four years old and decides to spend the night at her friend Milena’s house for the first time. But while she is there, she feels a little bit of regret, a kind of worry, like a whirlwind growing inside her. Luckily, she takes several of her talismans with her to ward off all her fears and nightmares. In addition, Milena’s mother tells them a very particular story and her voice is so soft… Will Sofi be able to lure sleep and win over the homesickness?

This sweet story is the first of five titles in the series “Sofi’s Twists and Turns”, in which Sofia, the main character, will grow up along with the characters who share her adventures, such as her brother Nacho, her mum and her dad.
