PreS-Gr 3—When a family's dog dies, the family gathers stories, photos, and the dog's favorite things to create an
ofrenda for Día de Muertos. A gorgeously illustrated book that acts as both a thank-you and a celebration for the
animal friends that have passed on.

Not a favorite of mine due to the illustration style but love the homage to the earth and Indigenous culture.

Indian/hispanic traditions, shared and explained

Pura Belpré Award for Illustration
