Through all moments of the day, both large and small, a boy prepares for a Day of the Dead celebration, in this "comforting" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) and "heartfelt...both gentle and profound" (School Library Journal) picture book from Pura Belpré Honor-winning author-illustrator John Parra. A single day in a boy's life is filled with family, love, and inspiration as he prepares for the Día de Muertos celebration and remembers that all moments are special. Each moment reminds us of our family and those who have gone before us. Today holds a special promise, una promesa especial.
