Los Cielos Mágicos de Sumpango

Each year on November 1, the Guatemalan town of Sumpango hosts a Giant Kite Festival. Through the Magical Skies of Sumpango, a bilingual, English and Spanish book, readers are introduced to the colorful tradition of barriletes, or giant kites. The cultural significance of the All Saint’s Day festival is told through the story of Maya, a young girl who is coming to terms with the death of her grandmother.
