A gorgeously illustrated story about a family of Egyptian embalmers that will enthrall kids with its mummy-making details and brilliantly painted pages.From artist and Egypt specialist Tamara Bower comes her third， gorgeous book about Ancient Egypt.

The book features sidebars of hieroglyphs and their meanings， a map， and an afterword telling more about the life of Yuya， of...

The book features sidebars of hieroglyphs and their meanings， a map， and an afterword telling more about the life of Yuya， of the burial process， and ancient Egypt in general. While there are a number of children's books on mummies， none are told from the point of view of the embalmers themselves， and none are illustrated with the meticulous eye of Tamara Bower.
