his space. The next day, Miss Falafel is there again, and this time she s brought Gumbo Jumbo and Annie Arepas with her. Little Taco Truck s headlights dim. What if people like Gumbo Jumbo s spicy stew and Annie Arepas s warm cornbread cakes more than they like his tacos?

At last, with some ingenuity and help from new friends, Little Taco Truck wins back his coveted parking spot. And guess what? There is room enough for everyone!

Parents looking for an uplifting bedtime (or anytime) story, would do well to grab a copy of Little Taco Truck.  Meera Klein, New York Journal of Books 

A familiar story about standing up for oneself gets a tasty twist courtesy of the urban culinary zeitgeist and plenty of visual pop from digital illustrations by Martin (I m Hungry), who arrays the blocky, brightly colored characters along a single, streetlike plane.  Publishers Weekly

In this whimsically illustrated story an innocent taco truck is dismayed to find there s competition for his usual spot: a falafel truck, oblivious to her trespass! Rest assured, Valentine s story is about making space for everyone, even if it s a bit of a squeeze, and enjoying all the goodness the world has to offer.  Maria Russo, The New York Times

This hip and fun read-aloud will appeal to children who are fully cognizant of the importance of playing fair.  School Library Journal

The lesson learned by Little Taco Truck is more than just an act of kindness by the other trucks. The message is very much one of belonging and that everyone belongs. Look for Little Taco Truck at your local indie bookstore or public library.  Alyson Beecher, Kid Lit Frenzy
