不一樣也很棒：時尚吸血鬼瓦拉德 Vlad, the Fabulous Vampire (The World of Gustavo)　

 
　　吸血鬼Vlad熱愛時尚，雖然他和其他吸血鬼一樣，總是穿得一身黑，但他的臉頰有可愛的粉紅色腮紅，這讓他看起來和其他吸血鬼特別不同。
 
　　身為吸血鬼，Vlad很怕自己表現得跟其他吸血鬼不同，所以他小心翼翼地用吸血鬼的傳統裝束藏起自己的粉紅色腮紅。直到某天，Vlad發現他的好朋友也有一個粉紅色的小秘密……
 
　　不一樣又怎樣？擁抱自己的不同，你就是全世界最特別的存在。可愛的故事，鼓勵孩子擁抱自己的特別之處。


　　Vlad’s passion is fashion. And just like every other vampire, Vlad dresses head to toe in the colour black. But unlike other vampires, Vlad has bright pink cheeks: cheeks that make him look, and feel, so different. Vlad tries to hide behind his clothes and his cape but, as it turns out, being yourself – truly yourself – is the most fabulous way to be.

　　An uplifting and charming celebration of our differences set in the same monster universe as the New York Times #1 bestseller, Gustavo, the Shy Ghost and Leila, the Perfect Witch.
