Description

From the bestselling author of Dragons Love Tacos, comes a whimsical re-telling of the chupacabra folktale, blending English and Spanish in a unique way. The story revolves around a girl named Carla who lives on a goat farm with her father, Hector. One night, a goat disappears and is found flat, leading to suspicions of El Chupacabras, a legendary creature. The narrative is brought to life with illustrations by Hollywood creature creator Crash McCreery and is written with a mirroring technique of half-Spanish/half-English sentences followed by their translations. This book not only tells an engaging story but also explores themes of harmony and understanding in a world filled with divisiveness, encouraging compassion and the appreciation of different perspectives.
