Amalia Hoffman, "My Monsterpiece" (Yeehoo Press, 2021)

Today I talked to Ameliia Hoffman, author of My Monsterpiece (Yeehoo Press, 2021) A kid-artist wants to frighten family members and friends by creating the scariest, meanest, most terrible monsters ever. A green tongue, pointy horns, sharp teeth, and terrible claws are sure to make everyone scream! But what happens when rather than running away in fright, they smile, laugh, and absolutely LOVE the monsters? Join the frustrated artist on this hilariously hair-raising journey where the scary and not scary meet and mingle, embarking on an adventure that reveals that overcoming fear and prejudice can lead to a wonderful friendship.
