Día de los Muertos is when your family's stories get told again. This book puts your child at the ofrenda, setting out the marigolds and the pan de muerto, and puts the people you remember in the story with them: their faces, their names, the food they loved. It's written for your family, whether your child is three and seeing the candles for the first time or old enough to ask who everyone in the photos is.

Plenty of families celebrate far from the town where they grew up, and the way it was done at home lives in the details: which flowers, which bread, the songs, the stories about Tía or Bisabuelo. A personalized Día de los Muertos book keeps those details in one place, with your child in the middle of them.
Set it out on the ofrenda each year beside the photos. One day your child will read it to their own kids and tell them who everyone is.

“They read it to each other at night and the illustrations rendered from their photos strike the perfect balance between whimsical character and accurate portrait, so they see themselves so fully in the story.”
