Julieta searches for the perfect gift to honor her grandmother's soul on Dia de Muertos.Her parents prepare the altar to honor their ancestors. As the day gets closer she still hasn't been able to think of the perfect gift. She remembers dancing with her grandmother and how she was always smiling. When she looks at her grandmother's unsmiling photo on the altar, she realizes what she can do for her."
Abuelita's Gift explores the tradition of honoring dead loved ones lives and remembering them with joy during Dia de Muertos. It is very informative with a glossary of the Spanish terms used in the back. I also appreciated the colorful expressive illustrations.
