Festival de Calaveras

by Luis San Vicente

Candles, cut paper, bread of the dead, salt, marigold November has arrived, and with it, the Day of the Dead. The living prepare the altars and the dead embark on the journey, guided by the smoke of the incense. Once a year, the living and the dead meet to celebrate not death, but life. Eight-syllable calaverita verses and a love story take place in this celebration of one of Mexico s most emblematic holidays.

The illustrations in this book are very beautiful and the story gave me a little bit of the feeling associated with this particular celebration. The mysterious crossing over and sharing of time and space with lost loved ones.
