“Tonatiuh adds another book to his concepts series, this time focusing on the lively colors and vocabulary related to fiestas. Readers will delight in this vibrant journey that skillfully blends language, culture, and color into a bilingual celebration. Music, food, and colors take center stage in Tonatiuh’s signature digital collage artwork. …Tonatiuh’s author’s note—presented in both English and Spanish—explains that the book portrays a street festival, like those that mark Mexico’s Independence Day and Mexican Revolution Day, or like the ones held in the United States during Hispanic Heritage Month or Cinco de Mayo.”
