¡El Día de los Muertos ya está aquí, y este libro de cartón es el formato ideal para familiarizar a los lectores más pequeños con esta celebración!

Cristina está muy emocionada para festejar el Día de los Muertos junto a su hermano Carlos y toda su familia. Los jóvenes lectores podrán acompañarlos, al tiempo que podrán recordar a aquellos seres queridos que ya no están junto a ellos.

Emotivas ilustraciones recrean el espíritu festivo y conmovedor de esta tradición, en la que todos decoran su casa, se visten para un desfile de disfraces, construyen un altar, cocinan tamales y bocadillos, y hacen muchas cosas más. Al final, el libro ofrece datos adicionales sobre el Día de los Muertos para reforzar el significado de todas las costumbres tradicionales representadas.
Diane de Anda, a third-generation Latina, grew up in Los Angeles. She became a teacher, first of children and teens, and ultimately, a professor of social welfare at UCLA. Soon Diane began writing stories from the tales told to her by her great-grandparents and grandmother about their experiences during the Mexican Revolution and beyond. Realizing the need for children’s books in which Latino children could see themselves and their families, she also began to write books where they were the main characters. Diane is the author of several picture books, including Mango Moon21 Cousins, and The Day Abuela Got Lost. View titles by Diane de Anda
