The Day of the Dead / El Día de los Muertos: A Bilingual Celebration

(4) PS Translated by Teresa Mlawer. A family honors its ancestors on el Día de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead. The sing-songy rhyming text (which is more effective in the Spanish translation) lists activities associated with the holiday: food preparation, dancing, candle lighting, and remembering. Barner's colorful mixed-media illustrations are livelier than his text. An author's note (in English) provides additional information.
