Join fabulous vampire Vlad as he learns to embrace his pink cheeks and and find his confidence!
Vlads passion is fashion. And just like every other vampire, Vlad dresses head to toe in the colour black. But unlike other vampires, Vlad has bright pink cheeks: cheeks that make him look, and feel, so different. Vlad tries to hide behind his clothes and his cape but, as it turns out, being yourself truly yourself is the most fabulous way to be.
An uplifting and charming celebration of our differences set in the same monster universe as the New York Times #1 bestseller, Gustavo, the Shy Ghost and Leila, the Perfect Witch.
Flavia Z. Drago was born and raised in Mexico City. As a child, she wanted to be a mermaid. When that didnt happen, she began her career as a graphic designer and a childrens book illustrator. Her debut, Gustavo, the Shy Ghost, was a smashing success and #1 NYT bestseller. Flavia is also the author-illustrator of Leila, the Perfect Witch and two monster-themed board books, Monsters Play... Counting! and Monsters Play... Peekaboo!. She has an MA in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art, was shortlisted for the 2018 Sebastian Walker Award and won the 2021 Klaus Flugge Prize. She loves colours, textures, and shapes and enjoys creating them with different materials and a bit of digital sorcery.
