Huesos (Bilingual: English and Spanish)

Through the story of Huesos' journey through the afterworld, children can explore different ways of coping with grief and finding comfort in memories of their pet. Children will learn about the special bond between humans and their pets, promoting empathy and compassion in a light-hearted way; and understanding of pets' roles in our lives. This book also introduces children to the cultural significance of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), fostering cultural awareness. Huesos is Abuelo’s four-legged travieso, a rambunctious troublemaker with a constant ball of energy and a big bite. Nothing and no one is safe from Huesos’ mischief and chomping teeth, from Grandpa’s slippers to the neighborhood’s mailman. Until one day, Calaca Pascuala knocks on his door and takes him on a journey through the afterworld. But even there, Huesos can’t contain himself.
