Praise for "How Diablo Became Spirit":
"My daughter and I both love this story. It intrigued us so much we also watched the documentary that it is about. The illustrations are stunning." — Tiffany B, Mama
"Our family has loved reading this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is one we have been discussing almost daily with our boys. We have been practicing with our dogs and cat using the techniques discussed in this book about Diablo, and truly enjoyed getting to show our boys the picture of the real Diablo! Such a neat story overall and reminder to all ages to connect and respect all beings." — Brittany A., Mama
I knew the story from the original YouTube video first viewed around 2012 or so. I used it in a high school program to initiate debate, and it inspired awe.
I was thrilled to see ut in book form.
I bought the book for my new granddaughter, and when I read it to her, she loved the book.
I think I would have told the story a little differently - and in fact when reading her the book I added parts in from the story as I'd seen it first.
Just filling in a bit more detail so she could get a fuller picture of what was taking place.
But the illustrations did a lot of that as well so I don't know if it was necessary.

This book called out to me more than once
This book has touched my heart in a very unexpected way. I began collecting these books and then bought a collection of the puzzles, which included “How Diablo became Spirit.” I still haven’t opened the puzzle, yet as I had been gifting these books to various younger kin, I hadn’t bought the book. Then as several months passed. I was surfing around on YouTube https://youtu.be/Hxh7YoLyqno?si=h631HzNmn7920E3X and watched this video. Afterwards, I hadn’t connected the dots yet … so last month I decided to order more books and chose this book. When it was delivered I read through it and was surprised by the same story. I do truly love sentient beings and do what I can to advocate for their dignity and peace.

Great book
I started reading this book to my son to teach him about finding his inner calm and he loves it. He’s started to ask for this book every night at bedtime.
... while fostering deeper connection with your children.
