'Once Upon a True Story' with Miss Mel on Facebook Live
Ever imagine you are an astronaut, a scientist, or an artist? Let's learn about someone new from history through an amazing selection of children's picture book biographies. Today, Miss Mel will be reading the inspiring artistic book, ‘Funny Bones: Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras’ written and illustrated by Duncan Tonatiuh. Through our book today we will be learning about the Mexican artist, Jose Guadalupe Posada and how his prints and drawings have become synonymous with Mexico’s Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead).
