Say HOLA to a hilarious kite-flying adventure in Skeletown with everyone's favorite Día de los Muertos-inspired characters that will lead to giggles with English and Spanish readers alike!
Hold on to your hats—it's a windy day in Skeletown! It's the perfect time to play outside and fly a kite with friends. But if Skully isn't careful, he'll have to say ADIOS to his handmade kite. Is he just one gust of wind away from a whole tangle of trouble?
With a clever text comprised of only 2 words, Hola. ¡Adiós! features dynamic, neon green art that pops off the pages, a completely unique approach to storytelling, and a wildly appealing (but not scary!) cast of calavera characters from the fantastical world of Skeletown. Here's a rambunctious romp sure to delight bilingual and emerging Spanish language readers (but also simple enough to be completely understood by speakers of any language).
