Synopsis
It's the Day of the Dead! It's time to celebrate! In this bilingual book, a young girl is busy helping her family prepare to honor those who have died. First she goes with her mama to the market to buy pan de muerto. Then she lays a path of marigold petals with her papa. But mostly, she thinks of her abuelito. She misses him very much and is excited for his spirit to visit that night. And when she sees the butterflies fly through the sky, she knows that his spirit is with them.
Written in both Spanish and English, this book includes activities and recipes just right for any Day of the Dead celebration. Loretta Lopez's colorful illustrations perfectly complement Janice Levy's child-friendly introduction to this important holiday. Ms. Levy and Ms. Lopez, who both live in New York State, previously collaborated on Celebrate! It's Cinco de Mayo! / ÁCelebremos! ÁEs el Cinco de Mayo!

This bilingual book tells about the Day of the Dead, a time to remember loved ones who have died.
The illustrations are lovely. The words are simple, easy to read, and the story is heart-felt.
It is very moving!
I came across it in a college class. A professor of Bilingual Education and Literacy presented it as an EXCELLENT LEARNING TOOL for parents, teachers and librarians... and of course, for children, too!
The book contains CRAFTS and RECIPES - these are lots of fun and reinforce the book's contents.
The author has also included educational notes about the holiday,as well as a Spanish glossary.
This is a GREAT SHARING BOOK... leading to questions about love,multiculturalism,and Mexico.
I have since bought several copies; one for a child who lost his grandfather and another for an adult whose aunt had passed on.
The author of this book has also written another bilingual book on this topic: "The Spirit of Tio Fernando: A Day of the Dead Story." If you google this, many sites come up. When I checked her website, I saw that she'd also written a book about bullying,which I had already read and enjoyed.
She also wrote "Celebrate! It's Cinco de Mayo," which was beautifully illustrated by Loretta Lopez, too.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!
