Description
Join storyteller Paulette Atencio for an afternoon of Day of the Dead tales and legends that have been passed down through the generations. Day of the Dead (November 2) is a sacred holiday celebrating life, not death. The holiday originated in Mexico and Central America. Families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion. They prepare food, drinks, altars, and flowers for these dead relatives. Atencio’s Day of the Dead tales will make you laugh, cry, tremble, keep you in suspense, and wanting more.

She has a master’s in curriculum instruction from New Mexico Highlands University and is the author of four books Cuentos from My Childhood: Legends and Folktales of Northern New Mexico, Cuentos from Long Ago, Box of Memories and Pieces of My Broken Life.
