MISTACO
A Tale of Tragedy y Tortillas
A chaotically funny debut picture book about a girl who's had a terrible day full of mistakes and finds that making mistacos could be a delicious solution.
After an awful day at school (including a tragic but plausibly deniable mishap with a pudding cup), Izzy wants to be left alone. But it's Friday, and that means making tortillas with Lito.
As the mistakes pile up, they come tumbling out of Izzyand Lito surprises her by saying everyone makes mistakes, and if she makes a tortilla out of her mistakes, he will EAT it.
"Mmmm. . .spicy! And boogery! With a hint of courage. My favorite taco EVER!"
Suddenly, the whole family is confessing and getting mistakes off their chests with a feast of mistacos! A delightfully silly picture book for fans of Greg Pizzoli and Oh, Olive! by Lian Cho.
Eliza Kinkz is a Tejana artist who's never stopped viewing the world through the bright colors of her crayons, AND she's even eaten a few too! She was the 2022 James Marshall Fellow and has illustrated many hilarious picture books, including Papá's Magical Water-Jug Clock by Jesús Trejo, which won a Pura Belpré Illustration Honor. All her ridiculous scribbles burst straight from her heart, which is overflowing with joy . . . and probably a few crayon pieces. Eliza lives in Austin, Texas, with her family and her one true love, a huge bowl of queso. ¡Mistaco! is her author-illustrator debut, and you can spill all the frijoles to her at ElizaKinkz.com.
