(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Robert Chapman. Rosita learns to deal with her grief over her beloved abuelita's death by making a gift for her grandmother on the Day of the Dead. Three-dimensional illustrations made of cast paper--with added-on objects made of wood, string, fabric, and beads--have eye-catching details; details in the somewhat trite story strengthen the characterization and setting. The Spanish text in this bilingual book is well translated.
