⭐⭐⭐
Interesting little book about The Day of The Dead. The author gives us a nice outline of the history, which I found super interesting. A chapter dedicated to “death”, the history and our relationship to it. There are also recipes, activities, spells, etc. Mine didn't have any photos in it, which I think would have added a little something extra to it. But overall it was an intriguing little read!
