Luis San Vicente Festival de Calaveras Festival of Skulls ILLUSTRATIONS By the Author GR N Celebrations and Holidays / Cultural Heritage / Fantasy and Magic 9781641011310 7" x 10" / 32 pp $12.95 / PB Literature Poetry / Narrative Poems Candles, cut paper, “bread of the dead,” salt, marigold flowers: 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. Ana María Shua Un circo un poco raro A Rather Odd Circus ILLUSTRATIONS Luciana Feito GR J Animals / Imagination and Play / Nonsense 9786070133435 6" x 7½" / 32 pp $11.99 / PB Literature Poetry / Narrative Poems In this story, everything seems backwards. The circus performers do things we would never have imagined: the elephants walk the tightrope, the horses liven things up with music, the seals are happy spectators who give a standing ovation to the brave lion who sticks his head in the handler’s mouth. Beginning readers will discover that imagination has no limits, and that just by changing a few things around, you can create very funny situations. Ana María Shua Una plaza un poco rara A Rather Odd Plaza ILLUSTRATIONS Luciana Feito GR J Imagination and Play / Nonsense / Creativity 9781641011945 6" x 7½" / 32 pp $12.99 / PB Literature Poetry / Narrative Poems This town square is very different from the rest: in it, two old trees play chess while the pigeons throw candies at children, and several ladies flit from flower to flower. This book will motivate children to imagine all that they would do in a plaza as odd as this one.
