Husband and wife illustrator and author duo, Megan and Jorge Lacera, join Bethany to discuss their humorous picture book debut, ZOMBIES DON’T EAT VEGGIES. Megan and Jorge wanted to create a book that depicted a family like theirs: bilingual, multi-cultural, funny, and imperfect! That desire resulted in zombies.
The couple first met while working at American Greetings, so the two have always enjoyed working together, and during the podcast, they discuss how they balance that relationship. They also talk about why diversity not only matters in their own lives but in the lives of all children who need books to serve as both windows and mirrors.
The couple has a second picture book in the works as well as an illustrated middle grade series, and they encourage new authors to be willing to talk about and promote their own books and say yes to school visits and speaking engagements, which is what they have done for their own work.
