Our World picture book
Marigolds for Great Grandpa Luis
A read aloud picture book for kids ages 5 to 10 (Kindergarten to 5th Grade). Tap Read it to me and Buzzby the bee reads each page out loud, so early readers can follow along with the words.
The first pages
Every fall, Camila and her mom visit the market in San Antonio, Texas. This time they filled their arms with bright orange marigolds that smelled warm and spicy.
"These are for Día de los Muertos," Mom said. "On November first and second, families in Mexico and beyond remember people they love who have died."
What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
Talk time questions
- What did Camila put on the ofrenda?
- Why do families tell stories about people they miss?
- What is a happy memory you have with someone in your family?
