Posada And The Day Of The Dead Summary

What a fantastic book, I am not sure where to start. This book is so much more than a biography about Mexican artist Posada and his day of the dead Calaveras. It is a book which educates about art, the day of the dead festival, Mexican culture and history, and contains poetry as well. This is a must for the classroom and would be a perfect read for any age really. The end of the book is filled with a two page author's note with even more detail about Posada and the Day of the Dead, an glossary with pronunciations, a bibliography for further readings, information where you can see Posada's work in the United States, as well as an index.
