- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a wonderful book to immerse yourself in learning the customs of Day of the Dead! It follows Daniela, celebrating her first Day of the Dead without her Grandpa. Daniela is a great character for kids to follow, she explains that although Day of the Dead may be seen as sad, it's a celebration, not a mourning. It gives the book a lighthearted feel. An example of this is when she and her mother pick out "funny little skeletons" that play the guitar like her grandfather. The illustrator of the book, Holli Conger did a great job at using bright and fun colors, as well as drawing all the characters happy. They accomplished celebrating the holiday and highlighting the great things Daniela's family does to celebrate their loved ones. The big idea of this book is that Day of the Dead is a great holiday that brings family- whether there daily or not- together.
