Summary

In this episode we interview Catrina Gandara, a fellow podcaster who was born and raised in Mexico. Catrina grew up celebrating Dia De Los Muertos and has carried on those traditions with her family, as well as created new, meaningful traditions!

Catrina teaches us:

the history of Dia De Los Muertos
the difference between Dia De Los Muertos and Halloween
using Dia De Los Muertos to teach your children about death
creating opportunities for family history work during Dia De Los Muertos
how to appreciate but not appropriate during Dia De Los Muertos

We also chatted about Sol Book Box, an awesome resource that parents can use to teach their children more about Hispanic heritage/ Latinx culture.

And don't forget to check out Catrina's outstanding podcast, Create Joy Podcast.
