Después de un día horrible en la escuela (incluyendo un trágico incidente con un vasito de pudding), lo único que Izzy quiere es que la dejen en paz. Pero es viernes. Eso significa que es el día de hacer tortillas con Lito. A medida que las historias de sus mistakes se acumulan, Izzy los va soltando uno por uno, y Lito la sorprende diciéndole que todos cometemos mistakes, y que si ella hace una tortilla con los suyos, él se la comerá. "Mmmm... picosa! Y mocosa! Con una pizca de valentía. Mi taco favorito EVER!". De repente, toda la familia empieza a confesar sus mistakes y a librarse de ellos con un festín de mistacos! Un álbum ilustrado deliciosamente disparatado para los fans de Greg Pizzoli y Oh, Olive! de Lian Cho. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 Izzy--and 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.Author Biography
