Huesos

Meet Huesos—Abuelo’s four-legged travieso! He’s a rambunctious pup with endless energy, a mischievous grin, and chomping teeth that get into everything—from Grandpa’s slippers to the poor neighborhood mailman’s shoes. But one day, when Calaca Pascuala knocks on his door, Huesos finds himself on an unforgettable journey through the afterworld. Of course, even there, he just can’t help stirring up a little trouble!

Written and illustrated by Luis San Vicente, this beautifully illustrated hardcover book (9" x 11") is perfect for children ages 4–8. The story is told in both English and Spanish, making it a wonderful bilingual read for families. Through Huesos’ playful but heartfelt adventure, young readers explore themes of love, loss, and remembrance while discovering the comforting power of memories that keep our furry friends close forever. The book also introduces kids to the rich cultural traditions of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), encouraging empathy, compassion, and appreciation for celebrations beyond their own.

With humor, tenderness, and vibrant illustrations, Huesos shows children that saying goodbye doesn’t mean letting go of love—it’s a joyful reminder that the bonds we share with our pets live on in our hearts.
