Author Description

Seven-year-old Valentina and her loving family introduce little readers to Valentina's favorite celebration of the year: the Day of the Dead. Together with her family she visits the cemetery, decorates her home, bakes pan de muerto, listens to her grandfather's singing, and goes to festivals with her sister Sofia. But the most important part of the celebration for Valentina is when her family shares stories about her great-grandparents over dinner. She loves those stories because family is everything.
