Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I was looking for to help me teach my children about los dia de muertos. This book is exciting for both my preschooler and my first grader and I would highly reccomend this book to anyone. My children asked to read it time and time again!
Summary of Day of the Dead
Above a small town in Mexico, the sun rises like a great marigold, and one family begins preparations for an annual celebration, El día de los muertos, the Day of the Dead. Soon they will go out into the night, join their neighbors, and walk to the graveyard to welcome the spirits of their loved ones home again. Framed by decorative borders and peppered with Spanish words, Day of the Dead is a glorious introduction to a fascinating celebration. A note at the end of the book provides factual information about the holiday.
