The Dia de los Muertos Story explains the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead. We learn about the origins, honoring ancestors, building ofrendas (altars) with sugar skulls, papel picado, and marigolds. We learn about celebrating life and memory through family traditions, and that people only truly pass away when forgotten.
DeLaTorre depicts the rich history and joyful spirit of Day of the Dead making it accessible and meaningful for kids. Gonzalez's illustrations beautifully grasp the warm connection and colors of the holiday.
