Bisa's Carnaval

Under a rainbow-bannered sky,

Trumpets, trombones, tubas and saxophones sing

louder, faster, faster, louder!

It's carnaval!

Clara cannot wait to celebrate her favorite holiday with family, but especially her bisa, or great-grandmother. Bisa makes beautiful costumes for Clara, her sisters, and cousins, who can hardly contain their excitement as they get dressed up. The children take to the streets, but even among all the colors, music, and dancing, something is missing… or is it someone?

With lush, lyrical text and bright, colorful illustrations, this book takes readers to the one of the most exciting holidays of the year and reminds us that no matter who you are, love is always worth celebrating.
