This is a unique approach about a frog that decides to be a bully to get more frogs to pay attention to him, but it turns out he’s much better at being a friend.

It is the first Day of the Dead celebration since the passing of his Tío Fernando, for whom he was named, and Nando prepares to honor this beloved relative. As he wanders through the market, seeing all of the traditional treats and decorations associated with the holiday, he wonders what it will be like to meet Tío Fernando's spirit. Later, as he and his mother keep vigil at the cemetery, Nando does feel a connection, and is happy that his uncle knows that he is loved and not forgotten...

Pairing an engaging, heartfelt narrative from American author Janice Levy with appealing, expressive watercolor artwork from Venezuelan illustrator Morella Fuenmayor, The Spirit of Tío Fernando: A Day of the Dead Story / El espíritu de tío Fernando : Una historia del Día de los Muertos offers a lovely exploration of the customs and meaning of the Day of the Dead. Far from being a morbid or frightening occasion, it is a joyous remembrance of loved ones who have passed away, but who are still important to the family they left behind. This is a bilingual book - Spanish translation is provided by Teresa Mlawer, who also worked on Bob Barner's The Day of the Dead / El día de los muertos - so it can also be used in Spanish language and/or ESL classes. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for stories about the Day of the Dead.… (lisätietoja)
