Description

It's time to join the party! Adventure awaits readers of all ages on Día de Muertos in this stunningly original and lushly illustrated tour de force about family, love, and overcoming grief from #1 bestselling superstar Leigh Bardugo and World Fantasy Award and Hugo Award-winner John Picacio.

Everyone in the neighborhood was getting ready for the party.
Everyone knew somebody on the guest list. . . .
This was the day the dead returned.

There's a party tonight, but Cala doesn't want to go. While her family prepares for the celebration, Cala grieves her grandfather and tries to pretend she's not afraid.

But when she is separated from her family at the cemetery, Cala encounters four mysterious riders who will show her she is actually quite brave after all.

Brimming with magic and humor, The Invisible Parade is the first picture-book collaboration between award-winner John Picacio and New York Times bestselling Leigh Bardugo. Set on the night of Día de Muertos, Cala's story is one of love, loss, and the courage that can be found in unexpected places.

What a lovely little kids book this is! As a huge fan of Leigh Bardugo, I was immediatly intrigued when she announced that she would release an illustrated kids book about grief. And this one was everything it promised to be! While short, because it still is a kids book after all, there is so much story and love in these pages. It is a thought-provoking book that does not just cover the loss of a loved one but also presents a cute little take on the Four Horsemen Of The Apokalypse. And what I love most about it is that even though the topics are rather sad compared to your average kids book, it still conveys a huge sense of optimism. Needless to say that this one might come in handy one day even for me as an adult and educatie, for I wilk surely keep this in mind whenever the days seem to dark!
