Book Synopsis



Say HOLA to a hilarious kite-flying adventure in Skeletown with everyone's favorite Día de los Muertos-inspired characters that will lead to giggles with English and Spanish readers alike!

Hold on to your hats--it's a windy day in Skeletown! It's the perfect time to play outside and fly a kite with friends. But if Skully isn't careful, he'll have to say ADIOS to his handmade kite. Is he just one gust of wind away from a whole tangle of trouble?

With a clever text comprised of only 2 words, Hola. ¡Adiós!​ features dynamic, neon green art that pops off the pages, a completely unique approach to storytelling, and a wildly appealing (but not scary!) cast of calavera characters from the fantastical world of Skeletown. Here's a rambunctious romp sure to delight bilingual and emerging Spanish language readers (but also simple enough to be completely understood by speakers of any language).

Don't miss these other books in the Skeletown series!
Skeletown: Sí. ¡No!
Skeletown: Más. ¡Menos!



Review Quotes




"With its detailed illustrations and childlike humor, the latest in Montijo's "Skeletown" series will engage readers and have them coming back for more. This book can be enjoyed with a range of readers, from early childhood to older elementary, and used in classrooms and story times. A fun Spanish-language romp that has a place in any picture book collection."--School Library Journal

Praise for Skeletown: Sí. ¡No!:

A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2023

* "The sublime, repeated juxtaposition of Sí and No offers wacky, surprising moments of levity, and it all comes together for a charming ending. A spectacular day in Skeletown." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Good-natured, bustling cartooning reveals lots to laugh about in a friendly concept book that's overwhelmingly a 'Sí.'" --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An interactive read-aloud story that helps teach children how to build healthy friendships and other life lessons." --School Library Journal

"Pre-readers will have fun interpreting the reason behind each sí and no, and the final pages turn the plot toward the importance of collaboration and friendship--and, of course, a little mischief, too." --Booklist

"The text demonstrated a range of meanings for 'sí' and 'no' (the only two words in the book) with black, white, and blood orange images that are jam-packed with friendly skeleton details." --Horn Book
