Join us at Book Passage Corte Madera for a magical author event celebrating John Picacio's new book, The Invisible Parade!

This event is perfect for ages 5-9 and all kids at heart, and will take place on Tuesday, October 28th, at 6:00 PM.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The picture book debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo (not appearing) and World Fantasy Award winner and Hugo Award-winner John Picacio.

It’s time to join the party! Adventure awaits readers of all ages on Día de Muertos​ in this stunningly original and lushly illustrated tour de force about family, love, and overcoming grief.

Everyone in the neighborhood was getting ready for the party. 

Everyone knew somebody on the guest list. . . .

This was the day the dead returned.

There’s a party tonight, but Cala doesn’t want to go. While her family prepares for the celebration, Cala grieves her grandfather and tries to pretend she’s not afraid.

But when she is separated from her family at the cemetery, Cala encounters four mysterious riders who will show her she is actually quite brave after all.

Brimming with magic and humor, The Invisible Parade is the first picture-book collaboration between award-winner John Picacio and New York Times bestselling Leigh Bardugo. Set on the night of Día de Muertos, Cala’s story is one of love, loss, and the courage that can be found in unexpected places.
