A gift for Abuelita : celebrating the Day of the Dead [book review]
In: Farnsworth Juvenile Literature Library, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University ; Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University (1999)
Abstract: Luenn, Nancy. A Gift for Abuelita: Celebrating the Day of the Dead. Illustrated by Robert Chapman. Northland, 1998. ISBN 0-87358-688-3. $15.95. 32 pp. A 1-3 PB Reviewed by Rachael W. Galvez This book portrays the Latin-American celebration of the Day of the Dead through the experiences of a young girl named Rosita. Rosita has been very close to her grandmother, who dies at the beginning of the story. The following Day of the Dead celebration takes on special meaning for Rosita as she tries to preserve the love and memories of her grandmother. The result is a personal portrait of the faith and traditions surrounding this holiday. One of the book’s assets is that the text is given in both Spanish and English. The bright mixed-media illustrations also bring the story to life. They are very unique and have a three-dimensional quality. Included at the end is a glossary and pronunciation guide for a few Spanish words that are included in the English text. Altogether the book is a great find ; 32 p. ; Children's Book and Play Review, May / June 1999
