Día de Muertos: Números is a bilingual board book that invites you to count up to ten while celebrating Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, from the award-winning author-illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh.

From Tonatiuh comes this vibrant bilingual board book focusing on a Día de Muertos ofrenda (Day of the Dead altar), which is constructed annually to honor the memory and welcome the spirit of a loved one.

The book employs a counting structure, from one to ten, highlighting family members and their offerings. It culminates with a double-gatefold finale, revealing the family gathered around the fully adorned ofrenda with all of their offerings. A brief author’s note is included at the back of the book, providing additional context about the holiday.

El libro, con una estructura que cuenta del uno al diez, se enfoca en los miembros de una familia y sus ofrendas. El gran final incluye páginas dobles despegables que revelan a la familia alrededor del altar decorado con todas las ofrendas. Al término de la historia hay una breve nota del autor que ofrece más información acerca de la festividad.
