Transport yourself to a world of beauty and serenity with the Day of the Dead Celebration

As in other countries in the world, there are different ways to worship our ancestors, but what is the relevance of this celebration in our time and in a country like Canada? Why would you child benefit by being exposed to this celebration?

We believe we live in a world that is becoming more diverse, and diversity is something to be valued especially in a country like Canada - that successfully offers more inclusive communities in which our children can identify themselves, and effectively mingle with children different from themselves in several aspects. 

In celebrating the occasion of the Day of the Dead in Mexico primarily, and in some other countries in Latin America, we took on the task of collecting books to learn more about this unique celebration.

The celebration of the Day of the Dead generates curiosity, wonder, fascination and as it is mentioned by the Mexican Publisher Artes de Mexico:

"Unlike those who believe that Mexico’s culture of the death has already been thoroughly explored, we are more inclined to think it comprehends a richer universe than what is widely claimed, and that there is much to be learned about it. For those who have an outsider's view of these celebrations, they are sure to find many surprises. 

More than a celebration of the dead, are the creators of these works not celebrating life?

Might these rituals not be an intense prolongation of life in the midst of death?
