Feliz cumpleaños! It's Dani's birthday. He should be excited, but he's nervous.

This is the story of a Jewish boy in Argentina who has a light shining bright. This goes through his birthday and party. I’m sure there is a religious meaning to the “bright light,” but as a non-religious family, we didn’t catch that.
Nellie M, Reviewer
A Bright Night in Buenos Aires is about Dani, a boy who is followed by a glowing light. He is initially bothered by this, but realizes along the way that he can share his light with others. This is a sweet story about how things that make us different, also make us special.
Thanks to Kalaniot Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
