In The Invisible Parade (Leigh Bardugo; art by John Picacio) it's the first day of November, and Cala doesn't want to go to the evening's party at the cemetery, because she's still mourning her grandfather. She's sad all day while her family makes a variety of food and buys flowers. At the cemetery she gets lost and separated from her family, and meets three brothers, all riding on horseback: one who's sick and sneezing, one who is all bones and very hungry, and one who's always angry and grumpy. Then the fourth rider arrives...
This is a sweet story, about grief and sadness, scary things, and Mexican Day of the Dead ceremonies, and Picacio's art is just gorgeous. It's tailormade for children in Goth households & brings up mortality in an age-appropriate way.

Washington City Paper: Wizard of Oz in a Graveyard: Leigh Bardugo and John Picacio Bring Their Debut Picture Book to the National Book Festival
"Bardugo and her co-author (award-winning artist and longtime friend) John Picacio release their debut picture book, The Invisible Parade, which brings them to D.C. on Sept. 6 for the Library of Congress’ National Book Festival. Set on Dia de los Muertos, the story follows Cala, a young girl grieving the death of her grandfather. Although her parents joyfully prepare for the annual celebration, she’s too consumed by sadness to help. But when her family arrives at the cemetery for the party, Cala gets separated. Lost among the tombstones, she encounters four horsemen (yes, inspired by those four horsemen) who help Cala overcome her fears and embrace the idea that death doesn’t mean the end of a relationship."
