🎨 How to color it

Give the sugar skull bright white bones with turquoise flower eyes, pink star rings, orange marigolds, and purple papel picado banners. Use chunky crayons for the big skull, eye circles, and banner flags; it is fine if little hands color over the tiny dots and confetti. Try making the maracas one red and one yellow so they look ready to shake above the smiling skull.

Every day, Kiko shook the maracas—cha-cha, click-click—so the plaza band could start. The air smelled like paper flowers and sweet cinnamon. One day, the left maraca went thunk instead of click.

Because of that, Kiko climbed onto the drum box. Because of THAT, a tiny door popped open in the maraca handle. Inside was one shiny candy button. “For the smallest dancer,” Kiko whispered, and tucked it beside the low front banner where no one saw. Next time you spot the maracas, can you hear the secret shake?
