Meet the Authors of “Dragons Love Tacos” (VIDEO)

I spent a good portion of the weekend covering the Gaithersburg Book Festival (GBF) and it’s an assignment I enjoy because of the extraordinary people I get to meet at this popular literary event.

At the authors’ reception on Friday night at Asbury Methodist Village, I met the author and illustrator of a popular children’s book, Dragons Love Tacos, who traveled to Maryland from New York to attend the book event.

So what are their first impressions of Gaithersburg and who did they want to meet at the festival?

Find out in this excerpt from our interview:

Their new book, Robo-Sauce, is due out in October and as they mentioned it does transform into a Robo-Book.
