Tastiest Lesson in Empathy

¡Mistaco! A Tale of Tragedy y Tortillas

“Eat your feelings” gets a positive spin in this delightful picture book from award-winning Austin illustrator and debut author Eliza Kinkz. After a day of debacles, young Izzy vents – and boy oh boy do we find her flair for drama relatable – then learns a valuable lesson about owning and getting over feelings of shame. The whole family gets in on the exercise of turning mistakes into “mistacos” for a universally applicable lesson in self-acceptance and empathy. A Spanish-language edition is expected in August.
