by Tommy DePaola
Tommy DePaola is one of my favorite authors, and this is no exception. It's a heartwarming tale about a girl who needs a gift for the Christ child, and finds a flower on the side of the road. Living in the Sonoran Desert as I do, this Mexican folktale is near and dear to my heart
Audience
I think anyone from third grade up. In Phoenix it was a tradition to read it with the kids every year.
What I Love:
The illustrations are very Mexican, and the story is beautiful
Cautions:
It is culture specific and religious.
