I recently discovered a wonderful illustrator/author, Yuyi Morales. In my 3rd grade bilingual classroom, over half of my students are from Mexico and we've been learning about "El Día de los Muertos." In her book, Just a Moment, Yuyi portrays a grandmother being greeted my Sr. Calavera who is there to take her to the afterlife. Grandma tricks him into letting her stay-
My students are now writing their own 'trickster tale' on how they would trick him.
