Yuyi Morales.
This book weaves Spanish words into an English poem, defining the Spanish seamlessly within the stanzas. Eerie yet whimsical illustrations, which include twists on traditional Day of the Dead imagery, provide the backdrop. The details on each page will encourage careful observation, and the surprise ending is enjoyable. Glos.
