This book is a refreshing take on zombies as it invites children to enter its world with amazing adventures to inspire.
A freak accident transformed everyone into zombies but also turned the world into a drab landscape ofblack and white.

In this book, Caleb will try to paint the fun back into the undead lives of his fellow zombies. He dreams of a world with vivid hues and cheerful shades. Will he succeed?
“Zombies are the big thing right now and unfortunately it is mostly directed towards adults so I wanted to make a book that would be geared towards kids,†Morales says.

A fun and entertaining read, “Color Me Zombied†imparts the important lesson of following one’s heart and inspiring those around them even when facing adversity and opposition.
