bilingual English-Spanish picture book for children ages 4-8 about the real traditions of DÃa de los Muertos, and about remembering the people we love.
Seven-year-old Valentina and her loving family introduce little readers to her favorite celebration of the year: the Day of the Dead. Together with her family she visits the cemetery, decorates her home, bakes pan de muerto, listens to her grandfather's singing, and goes to festivals with her sister Sofia. But the most important part of the celebration for Valentina is when her family shares stories about her great-grandparents over dinner. She loves those stories, because family is everything.
Is this book right for your child?
- Ages 4-8. Warm, simple text for reading aloud and early readers.
- Bilingual. English and Spanish on every page, for bilingual families, heritage-language learners, and classrooms.
- The real tradition, not Halloween. It shows DÃa de los Muertos the way families celebrate it.
- A gentle way to talk about death. Children see that we remember loved ones with stories, food, music, and joy.
Perfect for families building an ofrenda together, teachers planning DÃa de los Muertos or Hispanic Heritage Month lessons, and parents looking for a warm first conversation about remembering those who came before us.
