TEXAS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TEJAS STAR READING LIST
⭐"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
by Megan Lacera and Jorge Lacera
"Funny, cartoonish illustrations plant clever details into the scenes, such as a zombified selection of vegetables (e.g., heads of lettuce, ears of corn, artichoke hearts). The Laceras draw upon their own experience as a mixed-race couple to tell an unconventional but utterly relatable story of mixed families and Latin cooking (with a twist)." —Booklist

"The striking compositions in rich browns and blues, along with Tuck's pride in her family, help distinguish this story of perseverance and courage. This well-crafted tale would be an excellent complement to overviews of the Civil Rights Movement." —School Library Journal

An inspiring, heartwarming story, illustrating how individuals and groups can make a difference." —Booklist
