This one really made me want to re-read the whole series. The idea that you could joyously celebrate the lives of family and friends who have passed on struck me as being unique and beautiful.
The Little-Bitty Book for the Day of the Dead starts with an imaginative and whimsical poem, in both English and Spanish, illustrated with the most charming group of skeletons that you are likely to encounter in a children's book.
