More Day of the Dead observations and celebrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A rather quiet contrast to the more well-known Mexican observance of Day of the Dead. The artwork is charming, and the story is sweet. This books adds a new dimension to the popular celebration.
great for children

This book is beautiful and peaceful. My children have read it over and over - the words are fun to read as an adult and the children love the way Felipa thinks and tries to solve her concerns. Felipa as a child character is smart, thoughtful, proactive and sentimental. After being a regular storytime book, we used this book when a family member died a few months ago as a way to make our children see that those we love are always with us. Peruvian culture that is represented in this book is subtle and respectful. I recommend this book.
day of the dead for children unfamiliar with it

I loved this book, it really captures the spirit of the holiday as celebrated in Latin America through the eyes of a child. The paintings are gorgeous and it has a great ending.
