Highlighted Reviews

"This isn’t even open to debate: You must have this book, especially when you start your thinking about Christmas presents. . . . it provides a joy and a lesson that will blossom throughout the year."—Charles Edgren, El Paso Herald-Post

"Mora and Berg’s story, and its illustrations, take you into the heart of a Latin American Christmas. . . .The story is narrated through the posada, the nine-day pilgrimage with Mary and Joseph seeking shelter. . . . The bilingual texts and music could prove useful for church groups, classes, and families observing the tradition. . . . A treasure for anyone who likes books bundled under the Christmas tree."—Catholic Library World

"This book belongs among your favorite library stories."—Southwest Children’s Review

"An ideal addition to any school library."—Christian Library Journal
