Born in a cemetery under the blood moon, Vampurr’s fur is shiny black, her eyes glow bright green, and she has long, needle-sharp fangs. All her siblings were adopted right away, but because of her appearance and her abilities sent visitors running. Until one night when fog rolls in and an unexpected visitor comes with it.

This is a book that I saw in the publisher’s preview email and I didn’t even know what it was about to know I needed my own copy of it as soon as it came out.

This was adorable and I’m pretty sure I actually read it twice when I first opened it because of how cute the artwork was. But how could nobody want Vampurr?! This is a lie.

Overall, a delightful, sweet mix of spooky, beautiful picture book about finding the right family.
