Artist Joseph Game AKA Chogrin, who was behind the Guru del Toro vinyl figure, has teamed with artist Pakoto to create a new bilingual children’s book inspired by Guillermo del Toro’s love for monsters and his lifelong friendship with them.
The book, titled “Kid del Toro,” is written by Chogrin, illustrated by Pakoto, and will be published by Lil’ Libros. Inspired by the fantastical and delightful childhood stories told in interviews by Guillermo del Toro, “Kid del Toro” follows young Guillermo as he defies his Abuela to stay up late to read monster stories and unexpectedly meets his very first best friend. The sweet and fantastical tale will encourage little ones to be brave, especially with things that go bump in the night, and to stand up for themselves even in times of darkness. Check out a preview of the book below:
“Kid del Toro” will be released on August 24, 2021, and is available for pre-order from Amazon and Barnes & Noble and will be available in Target stores when released.
