The Day of the Dead is a happy day when Mar’s family gathers together. There are favourite dishes to enjoy, games to be played, and most importantly, stories to tell. No one in the family is forgotten because this is the day of the year when the dead come to visit the living - and for this holiday it is almost as if they’re alive again, as the family takes great joy in celebrating the things that made them special. Mar realises she is just like her Grandpa Ramón, who kept a journal. And her sister, Paz, plays accordian, just like their great-grandfather. There are so many things that connect them all - and at dinner, Abuelita spins even more stories that make them feel close to the ones they will love forever. Ana Aranda’s tender text and vibrant art make the joy felt on this sweet day totally palpable.
A family honours their living and dead relatives as they celebrate this holiday with shared food and stories.
