Publisher's Synopsis
In traditional Day of the Dead celebrations, sugar skulls are given as gifts to the living and adorn the altars of the deceased. The art of handcrafting sugar skulls and decorating them with colorful paint and sparkling embellishments has been passed down through generations of folk artists. With their toothy grins and bold hues, the sugar skulls featured in the Day of the Dead wall calendar pay homage to the ancestors and are a vibrant tribute to life and this living folk tradition. - Includes US and Canadian legal holidays, phases of the moon, and important observances of the world's major religions. - Printed on paper sourced from a combination of recycled materials and wood harvested from socially and environmentally sustainable forests. - WE PLANT TREES -- Amber Lotus Publishing, an independent carbon-negative US company, has planted MORE THAN ONE MILLION trees since 2008 to offset our carbon footprint and resource usage.
