About this Event
Join us at 11 am for our first Spanish story time reading of Vlad el Vampirito Fabuloso, written & illustrated by Flavia Z. Drago.
We will also be doing an English reading of Vlad the Fabulous Vampire.
About the Book: From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost comes a charmingly spooky celebration of difference sure to resonate with parents and children alike.
¡A Vlad le fascina un atuendo estupendo! Y como a sus vampíricos amigos, le encanta vestirse de negro de pies a cabeza. Pero, a diferencia de todos los demás vampiros, Vlad tiene un par de mejillas rosas que lo hacen lucir horripilantemente vivo. ¿Cómo le hará para encajar con las demás criaturas paranormales?
Vlad, siempre a la moda, intenta esconder su rubor con hipnóticas capas y bufandas hechas a mano. Pero cuando descubre que es posible que su mejor amiga también este escondiendo su propio secreto rosado, decide que no quiere ocultarse más. Con un poco de valentía compartida, descubren cómo mostrarle a todo el mundo su verdadero ser.
Vlad is a vampire with the misfortune of having rosy cheeks that—gasp!—make him look abysmally alive. But being the fabulous vampire that he is (and hoping to avoid rejection), he hides his rosy complexion behind elaborate vampire outfits in traditional black. That is, until he finds out that his best friend has a pink secret of her own . . . With signature flair, Flavia Z. Drago offers a story about being yourself and finding your community, strikingly illustrated in a distinctive, detailed art style influenced by her Mexican heritage.
This is a free event open to all.
