Review: Day of the Dead books

 Just a few picture books for Day of the Dead:


This Little Golden Book is a great introduction to the Day of the Dead Celebration. It shares a little bit about this history of the day and what the day symbolizes. 

I love how it explains the history, the decor, and different traditions. This is a great introduction to the holiday. 

A young boy prepares for the celebration at the end of the day. There are many special moments that all tie together.

This isn't a bilingual book, but each page spread does have a sentence in Spanish

Julieta is sad; Dia de Muertos is approaching and she's not sure what the best gift for her Abuelita would be. Everything she tries doesn't work. Will she find something inside?

I loved this connection between the young girl and her grandmother. They had a special bond; I love how Julieta finds something in herself to honor her Abuelita.
