The cover of the bilingual children's book "El Catrin & La Catrina." In a cute, paper-cutout art style, a male and female skeleton (El Catrin and La Catrina) are dressed in elegant attire and holding hands. El Catrin wears a black top hat and suit, while La Catrina wears a large purple hat adorned with flowers and a ruffled red dress. They are set against a dark blue background, with sugar skulls, candles, and marigold flowers at their feet. The author is listed as Nayeli Reyes and the artist as Ellia Ana Hill. The publisher is Lil' Libros.
