(2) K-3 Illustrated by Maya Christina Gonzalez. Alarcón uses simple, richly descriptive verse (printed in Spanish and English) to explain the origins of the days of the week while celebrating a Latino family's traditions. Gonzalez's full-bleed double-page-spread illustrations, in watercolor, gouache, and acrylic marker, pay tribute to "Mexico's indigenous crafts." An illustrator's note reveals Alarcón died in 2016 but adds that his unique way of portraying the Latino experience through poetry will live on. Bib.
