A family remembers their beloved pet dog through the traditions of D a de Muertos in this "gorgeous, deeply touching exploration of grief and remembrance" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) from Pura Belpr Honor-winning team Xelena Gonz lez and Adriana M. Garcia.

A child and their family observe the customs of D a de los Angelitos, one of the ritual celebrations of D a de Muertos, to celebrate the life of their beloved dog who passed away.
