"Off to the hills of España we go.
Grab a tomato . . . get ready . . . now THROW!"

Every year, the town of Buñol in Spain holds La Tomatina, a grand fiesta featuring the world's BIGGEST food fight! Join in the fun!

After putting on goggles and grabbing some squishy tomates, it's time to toss fruit like there's no tomorrow.

"WHOOSH! Tomatoes are filling the air!"

"SPLAT! Tomatoes are stuck in my hair!"

Soon, the entire town is flowing in crimson. Juice flows down ears, drips off noses, runs down ankles, and spreads through toes. And the tomatoes are still flying until...

BOOM! The cannon is fired, and it's time to stop for the day, clean up, and go to bed, to dream of all the fun next year.

A silly, sensory celebration of tradition and good old-fashioned food fight fun, Food Fight Fiesta! is sure to delight.

About the Author

Tracey Kyle grew up in New Jersey and spent much of her childhood reading and writing poems. After seeing the boy band Menudo perform on a Latino TV station in middle school, she decided to learn Spanish fluently. Eventually she studied in Madrid, Spain. She spends most of her time as "Seora Kyle," teaching Spanish to a fun group of 8th graders. When she's not writing lesson plans or working on a new story, she loves to read, cook and practice yoga. She lives in Virginia with her husband and two cats.

Ana Gomez studied fine art at Salamanca University, but was always looking for a way to express the ideas and characters in her head. Illustration was the outlet for that. She lives in Madrid, Spain.
