SUPER PIZZA & KID KALE

Phaea Crede Zach Smith

With great flavor, comes great responsibility.
Super Pizza and Kid Kale have been delicious do-gooders and the best of friends since the day they came aleaf in the oven of the Baker Elementary cafeteria. But as they heroically foil one dastardly deed after another, Super Pizza's popularity begins to go to their crust, and it leaves their veggie pal feeling rotten. The growing frustration that begins to drive a wedge in their friendship is now threatening to take the students of the school down with them! It'll be up to Super Pizza and Kid Kale to patch things up so that they can get back to being the heroes that these kids knead.

For fans of Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast comes a hilarious and punny new picture book about navigating the ups and downs of friendship and the unintended consequences that actions can have on others, starring the Batman and Robin of food.

Phaea Crede loves writing silly picture books for silly kids. Serious kids, too! Her debut picture book Jet the Cat (Is Not a Cat) was published Spring 2021 by Barefoot Books. Phaea lives outside of Boston with her husband, two kiddos, two kittens, and a slightly stinky dog named Gus.

Zach Smith is a storyboard artist who has done work for Netflix, WB Animation, and Nickelodeon. He currently does storyboards on Animaniacs at WB Animation and works on a show that he created. Zach grew up in Michigan, but now lives in Southern California with his wife, kids, and dog.

The composition and layout have a comic book structure in a picture book space... the onomatopoeia and dialogue effectively convey the characters' emotions. This book is an easy graphic novel transition for little superhero fans and will make a great addition in an anthropomorphized food book collection.

This book will quickly become a kid favorite!

Smith cranks the almost frantic action up another notch in his loudly colored and loosely drawn cartoon scenes; speech bubbles and occasional use of panels give this one a graphic-novel look... Dishes up a delicious duo, with a theme of reconciliation as the secret sauce.
