Bookroo's summary

Felipa is heartbroken after her grandmother, Abuelita, passes away. Desperate to find her soul, she embarks on a journey, asking animals and climbing mountains. As the Day of the Dead approaches, Felipa joins the village's vibrant celebrations, hoping to reconnect with Abuelita. Will the festivities reveal the soul she longs to find?

From the publisher

Felipa’s beloved grandmother, Abuelita, has died. Felipa miser her terribly and is very sad. Her parents try to comfort Felipa. They tell her that the souls of the dead live on forever. So Felipa decides to find Abuelita’s soul. But where is it? She asks her grandmother’s donkey, her pig, and her llamas for help. She treks many miles to the highest mountain, but grandmother’s soul is nowhere to be found. Then, months later, the entire village is bustling with preparations for the Day of the Dead. Felipa joins in the celebrations honoring loved ones who have died, and in the process finally finds Abuelita’s soul.
