Funny Bones: Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras
by Duncan Tonatiuh<P>Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras--skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities--came to be. <P> They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852-1913). <P> In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. <P>He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. <P> They have become synonymous with Mexico's Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. <P>Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe's, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author's note, bibliography, glossary, and index. <P><b>A 2016 Sibert Award Winner and Pura Belpré (Illustrator) Honor Book, </b>
