Follow along with Little Andrea and her family as they explore the historical and cultural origins of Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through food and activities. Join Little Andrea and her family in The Dia de Los Muertos Cookbook as they celebrate this Mexican holiday with 13 delicious recipes and 5 creative activities. As they welcome the souls of their deceased loved ones for a short homecoming, Andrea's family cooks the amazing food of the culture while engaging in fun and educational activities. Featuring simple instructions, accessible ingredients, and vibrant illustrations, this celebratory and empowering cookbook makes it easy for kids 8-years-old and up to recreate delicious meals and drinks like:
- Jamaica (hibiscus iced tea)
- Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream
- Jicama (Mexican turnip) Fries
- Esquite (Mexican corn)
- Dulce de Calabaza (caramelized pumpkin)
- Two types of tortillas from scratch
- And so much more!
Each section also includes fun activities and crafts to keep the celebration going, such as designing papel picado, creating calaveritas (sugar skulls), making marigold garlands, having a dance party, and exploring parades and celebrations around the United States. Comprised of 90 percent cooking and 10 percent family and community engagement, The Dia de Los Muertos Story Cookbook offers young readers a way to connect with the enriching culture of Mexico and learn about a difficult topic in a sensitive, meaningful, and engaging way. The Holiday Celebration series from becker&mayer! kids honors the diverse holidays and milestones that shape the cultural fabric of the United States. Though these traditions may have originated elsewhere, brought to our shores by ancestors from around the world, they have endured and evolved to weave the vibrant tapestry of American life. The series includes picture books and their companion kid-friendly cookbooks that share stories uniquely representative of the American experience--an experience that is multilayered, eclectic, inclusive, and joyfully beautiful. Also available from the series: The Juneteenth Story, The Juneteenth Cookbook, The Dia de Los Muertos Story, and The Kwanzaa Story.
