Not Scared One Bit!

Simon and Hernesto have to prepare a presentation about bats. Luckily, Simon lives in a park — the perfect place to go and explore these nocturnal animals!

Without wasting any time, the children organise an evening expedition: they pitch their tent and prepare all the equipment they need… just like real young explorers!

But things do not go quite as planned…

Amid jealousy, scares and learning to overcome themselves, the two children are in for a night full of emotions!

Key points:

◊ Overcoming yourself

◊ Rivalry and jealousy between friends

◊ Friendship that can withstand anything

◊ Discovering nature at night

◊ A hybrid format: somewhere between a picture book and a graphic novel
