"How can a spooky book about zombies be this warm and bright? I don't know, but kids are going to eat it up." ~Adam Rex, NY Times Best-Selling Author/Illustrator of Are You Scared, Darth Vader? and Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich. Illustrator of The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Mo Romero is a zombie who loves nothing more than growing, cooking, and eating vegetables. Tomatoes? Tantalizing. Peppers? Pure perfection! The problem? Mo's parents insist that their niño eat only zombie cuisine, like arm-panadas and finger foods. They tell Mo over and over that zombies don't eat veggies. But Mo can't imagine a lifetime of just eating zombie food and giving up his veggies. As he questions his own zombie identity, Mo tries his best to convince his parents to give peas a chance.
Super duo Megan and Jorge Lacera make their picture-book debut with this sweet story about family, self-discovery, and the power of acceptance. It's a delectable tale that zombie and nonzombie fans alike will devour.
