Día de Muertos Números: A Day of the Dead Counting Book

Reach for this book when you want to introduce the concept of loss to a toddler in a way that feels warm, celebratory, and culturally rich. While many books about death focus on the sadness of parting, this counting primer focuses on the joy of remembering and the beautiful ways we stay connected to those we love through shared traditions. Through simple, bilingual text and striking Mesoamerican inspired artwork, your child will follow a family as they build an ofrenda (altar). It is an ideal choice for families looking to celebrate their Mexican heritage or for any parent seeking a gentle, math based entry point into talking about the cycle of life. The rhythmic counting and vibrant food and flower descriptions make it a comforting read for children ages zero to four.
