Description
A little girl celebrates the Day of the Dead as she waits for the arrival of her grandfather's spirit.
Quick Summary
This heartwarming book lets kids experience the magic of Dia de los Muertos through a little girl's eyes as she prepares to welcome her grandfather's spirit home. The story bubbles with kid-friendly traditions like building an altar, painting sugar skulls, and leaving treats, all while capturing the beautiful idea that loved ones never really leave us. If your kid loves family celebration books like "The House That Juan Built" or stories about grandparents, they'll eat this up like pan de muerto. Perfect for kindergarten through second graders who are curious about different cultures or anyone who believes love never dies.
