About The Book
Una niña y su familia observan las costumbres del Día de los Angelitos, una de las celebraciones del ritual del Día de Muertos, para celebrar la vida de su amado perro que falleció. Construyen una ofrenda conmovedora para ayudar a llevar el alma de la mascota a casa y ayudarle a esta persona pequeña a procesar su duelo en este conmovedor recordatorio de que nuestros seres queridos nunca se han ido realmente si nos tomamos el tiempo para recordarlos.

Why We Love It
“This book brings me to tears with every read. Xelena González’s tender, accessible prose combined with Adriana Garcia’s absolutely incredible art shows that death is ultimately a celebration of life and remembering the loved ones we’ve lost can be both simultaneously heartbreaking and cathartic.”
—Celia L., Executive Editor, on Remembering
