The much beloved holiday Dia de Los Muertos gets a loving look in Jaime Girones new book Llewellyn’s Little Book of the Day of the Dead. The book covers available history, recipes, rituals, and activities for communicating with your deceased family members and celebrating them for this holiday. I loved the information provided in this book, including deeper looks at the significance of items like marigolds, sugar skulls and monarch butterflies.
Girones’ book is fascinating, easy to read, and small enough to be carried around. I was appreciative of the recipes and easy instructions for items like pan de muerto and even how to make your own sugar skulls and icing.
Llewellyn’s Little Book of the Day of the Dead is available September 8th from Llewellyn publishing.
