The Dead Family Diaz
By P.J. Bracegirdle
Illustrated by Poly Bernatene
A fresh, funny take on the Day of the Dead that's packed with kid appeal
Every skeleton in the Land of the Dead is excited to celebrate el Día de los Muertos with the Living. But not Angelito. His big sister has told him all about their horrifying bulgy eyes and squishy skin. So when Angelito is separated from his family in the Land of the Living, he's petrified--until he makes a new friend who is just as terrified of THEM as Angelito is. Then his new buddy turns out to be (gulp!) a living boy! Angelito runs as fast as his bony feet can carry him. Fortunately the traditions of the Day of the Dead reunite the two boys, just in time for some holiday fun.
Full of wild Tim Burton-esque art, this clever tale is sure to become un libro favorito for the Day of the Dead, Halloween season, and beyond.

I picked up a copy of Rosita y Conchita at the LA Times Festival of Books this year. The author and illustrator were there and signed it for me. It's such a sweet book. I got a bit teary eyed when reading it to my son. He loves the illustrations.
