A girl comes to terms with her beloved grandfather's death through Mexican Day of the Dead rituals. The traditions portrayed in the story are enhanced by a brief appended note, along with a craft and recipe. The text and translation are fine, if sentimental; the vibrant illustrations with colorful borders are what really convey the spirit of the celebration.(Copyright 2008 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
