A lush exploration of the vibrant and important traditions of Día de Muertos, Mexico's holiday for celebrating passed loved ones. Whether you are new to the holiday and celebrating for the first time, looking to process a recent loss, or just interested in this authentic Mexican cultural tradition, Mexico's Day of the Dead paints a vibrant picture of one of the country's most storied and sacred holidays.

With photographer Christine Chitnis by her side, author Luisa Navarro documents the most breathtaking displays, as well as the artisans and people who keep the traditions alive. She delves into the origins of the holiday, its rich iconography, and modern-day customs.

Includes instructions on how to build a proper traditional ofrenda for remembering your loved ones, as well as a Day of the Dead calendar (the celebration begins October 27 and continues through November 2), and craft projects like papel picado and sugar skulls to make at home, plus a recipe for a Pan de Muerto like we've never seen (our family recipe is also different from anything we've seen, but this recipe incorporates charred corn husk into the sugar topping).
