Celebrating Día de los Muertos with "Coco"

Send us Fan MailWith the deepening beauty of fall colors and chilly evenings, the podcast celebrates this week's Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos as Ishara reads aloud Coco, adapted by Adrian Molina, illustrated by Fabiola Garza, and designed by Tony Fejeran! Maybe you saw the movie - now join Ishara as she dives through the pages of this heartwarming adventure with our young hero Miguel, who must traverse the veil between life and death itself to uncover a generations-old secret that will restore a forgotten legacy of his family. On this amazing reading journey, Ishara experiences through Miguel's eyes how Día de los Muertos honors our beloved family members who have passed from this life into the next, and how the bonds of love and family have the power to transcend death itself. Ishara closes by reflecting on why she chose the story of Coco and how the themes of this celebration recently touched her life and family in a deep and powerful way.Feliz Día de los Muertos, Super-Readers!P.S.
