Christmas is celebrated Latino style, with an angel hung above the door and zapatos filled with grass for the wise men’s camels. Each letter in this festive alphabet book introduces children to a Spanish word, and each colorful page takes children through a joyous aspect of the 22 days of the traditional holiday. Vibrant art from acclaimed illustrator Joe Cepeda complements the lively, rhythmic text to bring the reader a wealth of heritage — and a season of light. Launch date: December 2007.
