Dance and rattle along with skeletons on their way to celebrate their day--the Day of the Dead!
Baila y meneate junto a las calaveras en camino a su dÃa: el DÃa de Muertos!
If you think Day of the Dead is a time of celebration for the living, just think how much more exciting it is for the guests of honor! Renowned Mexican artist, Luis San Vicente, lets children join the fun with playful, rhythmic text in English and Spanish. His wild and whimsical artwork imagines how skeletons might revel as they're called back to Earth for this holiday of remembrance. You can also learn about how the living world celebrates Day of the Dead: A helpful afterword provides a brief history of the holiday in Mexico and some pointers on how to celebrate, including instructions for creating altars for dead loved ones and making traditional treats like sugar skulls.
