A hilariously zany sequence of unexpected occurrences.
By Daniel Wiseman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 26, 2023
Marco and Julia, two brown-skinned siblings, are pursued by “psycho squirrels” and barely make it inside their house. Marco decides to make a sandwich for his sister, who is skeptical of his cooking skills. He adds a secret sauce and the sandwich comes to life, talking and singing.
The squirrels try to steal the sandwich, but Poofypants chases them away. The sandwich then gets kidnapped by the squirrels, leading to a dance-off between them and Marco and Poofy. The illustrations show the battle with impressive dance moves and a mix of randomness and realism. This book is full of absurd charm and humor.
