A vampire struggles with a secret insecurity. Vladislav Varnaby Roland Dragul is proud of his gothic vampire heritage and displays it through his sophisticated black fashions. He has a secret, though: Behind his tall-collared capes, he hides rosy pink cheeks most unbecoming for the undead. As a fashionista, he's able to lean into his hobby to disguise his insecurity but is uncomfortable concealing his truth. Just when he's ready to lead a life of seclusion, his best friend and fellow vampire, Shelley, has a mishap that reveals a shockingly bright physical trait of her own, prompting Vlad to confess his secret. With a newly strengthened friendship, the two venture out of the Dark Woods for Shelley to share another secret. The muted palette transforms as they enter a vibrant town populated by paranormal people who embrace colors (including several people in huge Dia de los Muertos sugar skull costumes). The message of celebrating differences is solid, if heavy-handed; that the text is spare keeps the didacticism from weighing down the story too much. The prose allows the charming, expressive cartoon art free rein in creating a world with a Halloween goth look. Vlad has pale blue skin and a child-friendly, Nosferatu-style look. Shelley has pale green skin. Other background characters run the gamut in skin color. (This book was reviewed digitally.) An affirming, if somewhat moralizing tale of self-acceptance strengthened by a lovable aesthetic. (Picture book. 4-8)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Drago (Gustavo, the Shy Ghost, rev. 9/20; Leila, the Perfect Witch, rev. 9/22) presents another offbeat, sympathetic, supernatural character overcoming insecurities. Fashionista vampire Vlad, while confident in his sartorial selections, is embarrassed by his rosy, non-vampiric cheeks that "made him look different from everyone else -- so horribly alive." After stumbling on a friend's secret (big pink hair), he's able to appreciate and embrace what makes the two of them -- and others -- unique. The text is lighthearted, and the detail-filled mixed-media illustrations display energy -- and style. Concurrently published in Spanish as Vlad, el vampirito fabuloso.
