(3) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. In the mountains of Bolivia, Felipa searches for the soul of her recently deceased grandmother but cannot find her. She finally does on the Day of the Dead, when the souls visit their loved ones. Illustrated with bold blocks of color and some Bolivian details of clothing, the story is quietly told, without mawkish sentiment. An explanation of the traditional celebration is appended.
