Take a peek inside the imagination of animation director, Jeff Chiba Stearns, as he blends animals together to create fantastically mixed critters from A to Z! Inspired by his own multiracial background, MIXED CRITTERS is a children’s book that serves as an introduction to mixed race identity through the blending of various animals. Chiba Stearns, created this ABC picture book as a way to help educate readers, like his mixed daughter Yuki, to be proud of their multiethnic heritage.
This is a wonderful book. The drawings are really funny and imaginative. The book is not just for kids but adults, especially those who love animals, would also find it very, very entertaining. I see a feature length movie and a whole line of plush toys coming. This is a must read for parents looking for something refreshing to share with their kids.
I loved writing and illustrating my first children's book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and it makes you and your children smile! Please order hardcover copies of Mixed Critters at www.meditatingbunny.com/shop Use promo code 'mixed' to save 10% per book!
Great illustrations! My five year old daughter absolutely loves this book. Her favourite is the otterfly. It was fun to meet the author and get a signed copy at the Nikkei craft and bake market today. She read the book to her bachan when we got home.
