    Ken Locsmandi, Sebastian A. Jones, Joshua Cozine, Tomo

    Hardcover (Stranger Comics, Nov. 1, 2010)
    They want the candy! A group of delusional piñatas believe that they are worshipped when chosen to go to the party. Not until they see a video tape of their true fate are they smacked into reality. The group of piñatas must then band together to escape their certain demise. Yet in the end, they realize that sacrificing themselves for the happiness of others, the essence of being a piñata, is the best thing in the world. Meet Our Characters Jorge Bio: Jorge is a master at working with glue, and he is very skilled with the paper too. He wraps them both around a bent wire frame, and when he is done, it is never the same. But one in particular, he has to perfect, for a beautiful pig does his Lola expect. Type: Human Sex: Male Age Range: 60 Birthplace: Ensenada, Mexico Day Job: Paper Mâché Master Cynthia the Dog Bio: Cynthia the Dog is the type who gets jealous, for when it comes to fiestas, she can be a bit zealous. After all, she's the oldest, and she's getting quite bored. She dreams of the party where she's loved and adored. Instead, it's the pig and that plucky ducky. The dog doesn't know it, but she got pretty lucky. Type: Candied Canine Sex: Female Age Range: 2 months Birthplace: Jorge's Workbench Day Job: Candy Distributor Donna the Duck Bio: Donna the Duck is a friendly fowl who never once has been known to scowl.

Type: Wirefowl Sex: Female Age Range: 3 weeks Birthplace: Jorge's Workbench Day Job: Candy Distributor Miguel the Monkey Bio: Miguel the Monkey is a cheeky lad, but it's only in fun.

Type: Sweetened Simian Sex: Male Age Range: 5 weeks Birthplace: Jorge's Workbench Day Job: Candy Distributor Pancho the Pig Bio: Pancho the Pig is very sweet, and not just because he's filled with treats.

When all's read and done, he just wants a friend, one that will last, once his story ends.

  • The Pinata

    Bonnie Hayslip, David Wilkerson, Paul Annan

    Hardcover (David Wilkerson Publications, Inc., March 15, 2006)
    This is a whimsical, kid friendly story. The Pinata takes us on a journey into another world, and offers kids a glimpse at what truly matters in life. Families will be entertained and perhaps even challenged by the story of Diego and his selflessness and simplicity. The Pinata is not preachy but makes a strong moral statement.
