The Spirit of Tio Fernando: A Day of the Dead Story/El Espiritu De Tio Fernando : Una Historia Del Dia De Los Muertos by
Janice Levy, Teresa Mlawer, Morella Fuenmayor (Illustrator), Teresa Mlawler
(Translator)
"The Day of the Dead is a time to remember people who have died,
whom we will always love," Nando's mother tells him as they prepare
to celebrate the holiday and honor Tio Fernando, who died six months
earlier. El Espiritu de Tio Fernando is an excellent book describing
the mexican celebration of Days of the Dead. The book follows a young
boy and his mother as they remember his uncle who has died within the
last year. The book is simple yet includes many aspects of the celebration.
The illustrations are wonderfully detailed so as to show the emotions
of each part of the celebration. The text is in both English and Spanish
allowing all children to enjoy it equally.
