Description

An award-winning author and a rising star artist have put a festive Latino twist on 'The Twelve Days of Christmas,' replacing partridges with piñatas and adding burritos bailando (dancing donkeys), lunitas cantando (singing moons), and more. The vivid illustrations bring the festive elements to life, as a little girl receives gifts from a mysterious amiga, whose identity is revealed at the end. The book encourages readers to find and count items in Spanish on each page, with pronunciations included in the illustrations, and concludes with a glossary and music. This colorful and joyous celebration is sure to warm hearts.
