As a family prepares for the Day of the Dead, a young girl remembers her grandfather, and wonders when and how his spirit will return to visit. Perhaps, she thinks, he will come back with the Monarch butterflies who are returning to Mexico — as long as he doesn’t get lost! Warm, colorful illustrations bring the lovely setting and story to life, making this an excellent selection for younger readers.
