Last week I was volunteering at my library for an event and this beautiful ofrenda display was steps away from my #PictureBookGold amiga’s book so I redecorated for a photo shoot! 📸 @judithvaldesb.bsky.social

Such a moving and richly hued book by @judithvaldesb.bsky.social and Carlos Vélez Aguilera. A loving ode to how we remain connected to our seres queridos (loved ones). Perfect any day of the year. #amreading #ofrenda #picturebook
