En este encantador debut de una talentosa pareja, Mo Romero es un zombi con un secreto profundo y oscuro...Mo Romero is a zombie que ama nada más que cultivar, cocinar y comer verduras. ¿Tomates?

Le dicen a Mo una y otra vez que los zombis no comen verduras. Pero Mo no puede imaginar toda una vida comiendo comida de zombis y renunciando a sus verduras. Mientras cuestiona su propia identidad zombie, Mo hace todo lo posible para convencer a sus padres de que le den una oportunidad a los guisantes.

Review quotes

* Tasty and homegrown, this hits a strange and specific trifecta: a lightly bilingual book that feels inclusive not only for Latinx kids, but also for different eaters and for those who aren't afraid of gory, monster-themed humor. — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Jorge Lacera

JORGE LACERA was born in Colombia, and grew up in Miami, Florida, drawing in sketchbooks, on napkins, on walls, and anywhere his parents would let him. After graduating with honors from Ringling College of Art and Design, Jorge worked as a visual development and concept artist. As a big fan of pop culture, comics, and zombie movies, Jorge rarely saw Latino kids as the heroes or leads. He is committed to changing that, especially now that he has a son. The family lives in Cypress, Texas. You can find him online at studiolacera.com.

Megan Lacera grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, with a book always in her hands. She became a writer and creator of characters and worlds for entertainment companies, and later formed her own creative company with husband Jorge Lacera. After reading many stories to their son, Megan realized that very few books reflected a family like theirs--multicultural, bilingual, funny, and imperfect. She decided to change that by writing her own stories. This is Megan's original picture book debut. You can learn more about Megan and Studio Lacera at studiolacera.com.
