Flavia Z. Drago

I love that this book can be read to celebrate Halloween and Hispanic Heritage Month. I also think Gustavo is the sweetest little ghost. Like someone else said, I too would die for Gustavo even though he's already dead.

Monster girls, delicious baking, and a family support story - all around adorable! The art is also simply delightful and has lots of little surprises interwoven.

Fun book set around a Day of the Dead Celebration. The story of a shy ghost who struggles with letting people see his true self. He hides out of fear of acceptance, of being loved for who he is. This story will resonate with many and the mixed medium illustrations are just an added bonus
