It is a day not of mourning but of celebration--a day in which stories are shared and lives remembered.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Pedrito and Pipay will encounter families of all shapes and sizes, all united in their desire to honor their loved ones. Whether through quiet prayer and contemplation or joyful song and laughter, whether through the sharing of great feasts or the lighting of a single candle, each family will find a way to pay tribute. As the siblings trace their route through the cemetery, they will learn that families aren't defined by their size, wealth, gender, or distance from one another but by the love they share--a love that echoes like prayers, burns like candles, and blooms like flowers in life and beyond. In this exquisitely illustrated story of family love within a diverse and inclusive community, life and hope continue despite the sadness of loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Ruiz Roxas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lantana Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 10.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836290339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRuiz Roxas, Eric:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eEric Ruiz Roxas\u003c\/strong\u003e is an award-winning writer.
