About this episode
Join us on a brand-new Culture Kids adventure as we celebrate Día de Muertos with Mexican American author Mariana Ríos Ramírez , author of Abuelita’s Gift . Together, we journey through an endless field of glowing marigold flowers, learning how families in Mexico honor and remember loved ones with ofrendas, papel picado, and pan de muerto. Through Mariana’s heartfelt stories, kids discover how this beautiful tradition shows that love never disappears; it lives on in our memories, laughter, and shared stories.
