Mi Familia Calaca / My Skeleton Family is great fun for the youngest children — both hablantes and English speakers — and can lend itself to a plethora of art projects during celebrations of El Día de los Muertos, and any other time as well. Highly recommended. —De Colores: The Raza Experience in Books for Children
