Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras

By Duncan Tonatiuh
Skeletons dance, ride bicycles, play music, and grin from the page, but behind these funny bones is the story of a real artist with a sharp eye. Funny Bones introduces José Guadalupe Posada, the Mexican printmaker whose calavera drawings became closely connected with Día de los Muertos. Young readers learn how Posada began as a political cartoonist, why his work made people laugh and think, and how his lively skeletons became part of a lasting artistic tradition. Blending biography, art history, and cultural celebration, Duncan Tonatiuh presents Posada’s life in a way that is clear, vivid, and visually memorable. Back matter adds useful context for readers who want to learn more.
