PRAISE

"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]

"This is a fun, silly, and wonderful book about familial acceptance as well as self-acceptance...the importance of family is sure to open up conversations about children's individual identities." [Latinxs in Kid Lit]
