It’s Tortolito’s first Día de los Muertos without his abuelito, and Tortolito misses him every day. He’s determined to celebrate his grandfather to the fullest. And that means buying Abuelo’s favorite foods, wearing new clothes, and, of course, bringing a delicious tanta wawa—a traditional Andean bread—to visit Abuelo’s grave.
Even during his family’s celebration, Tortolito misses how close he and Abuelo used to be. By remembering and honoring his abuelito with his loved ones, can Tortolito learn to keep Abuelo’s spirit with him every day?
