"This is a unique cultural exploration of how Halloween is celebrated as the ‘Day of the Dead.’ Until the movie Coco came out by Disney, I had no idea of the practices associated with ancestral remembrance. The story engenders curiosity in young readers through the protagonist who goes on a journey to follow a young girl as she explains this celebration through her culture’s lens. A fun read for children aged 3-5. Empowers children to explore cultural diversity with curiosity and without fear."-L Bournelis, Shepherds Books

"Andy and the Mask of the Dead is a magical, creative, engaging, rhyming, charming, and lively story! This is the fourth book in the Andy's Adventures series. I adore that this book highlights Day of the Dead or "Dia de los Muertos" in an imaginative and unique way. In addition to telling a fun story, there is an explanatory page in that back which educates children on what the Day of the Dead is. I love this book! On Dia de los Muertos Andy is preparing to go to a costume party with his mother. While he waits by the car, he meets a young girl who offers him a painted skull mask. When he puts it on, he suddenly sees things and people he has never seen before. Andy quickly realizes he is at a celebration with he dead!" -Murray's Miraculous Mission
