NOVEMBER 2024 HOT OFF THE PRESS CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL PICK
A picture book celebration of Three Kings Day, with foil details on the cover, is the perfect gift for the Epiphany season.
Sofia and her abuela share a special Three Kings Day tradition: Abuela brings her wooden santos all the way from Puerto Rico and tells the story of the wise men seeking Baby Jesus, drawn by a star.
Surrounded by family and beautiful tradition, Sofia basks in the beauty of the holiday. Drawing upon her own experiences with her Puerto Rican abuela, author Annette Clayton explores the food, stories, and traditions that surround Three Kings Day. With rich illustrations by Venezuelan illustrator Jone Leal,
Hooray, It’s Three Kings Day! includes four pages of backmatter with traditional recipes, a Spanish glossary, and details about the way this holiday is celebrated in different countries around the world.
The gorgeous holiday gift is also available in a Spanish-language edition, ¡Genial, llegó el Día de Reyes!
