To Miss Meche, who taught me
to appreciate the Day of the Dead.
To my grandmothers, Yolanda and Raquel, who shared with me their love when they were alive and still do so in spirit.
To all my ancestors, to the lives they lived, and to their legacy.
May we meet again.

authors note
A s this is a book about a traditional Mexican holiday, Da de los Muertos , I find it necessary to mention the topic of cultural appropriation, its difference from cultural appreciation, and my opinion of these when celebrating the Day of the Dead if you are not of Mexican heritage.
Cultural appropriation is when some aspects of a culture are taken and then used for selfish or disrespectful purposes. Cultural appreciation is when a culture and its aspects are honored in a respectful way, by understanding the context. However, there is a fine line between these two concepts, and people may disagree on where the line exactly lies.
While reading this book and practicing the activities, I recommend taking the following questions into consideration:
your intention: Is your intention clear and do you try to make it clear when sharing it with other people? For example, if you are planning to set up a Day of the Dead altar, is this because you only want to post a picture to your social media or because you genuinely would like to honor your dead loved ones and ancestors? If you post pictures on social media without any context, it may be seen as disrespectful.
acknowledging context and history: When celebrating Da de los Muertos or using one of its symbols, do you understand and acknowledge its meaning and history? For example, if you decide to paint the face of your child as a Catrina, is this because it would look nice as a costume for Halloween, or is it because your child has been afraid of death and telling the history behind the Catrina and characterizing death might be a good way of helping your child overcome the fear? If the image of the Catrina is taken out of context and is used as a Mexican Halloween costume, some people may find it offensive.
congruence: Do you treat Mexican culture and the Day of the Dead with respect, and at the same time, do you treat Mexicans and Latin Americans with respect? For example, if there is a Mexican or Latino community in your area, it might be a good idea to first check if they have any activities open to the general public for Da de los Muertos and attend, as well as support the community in any way you are able to.
