'Twas Nochebuena

12/8/2022

 
Picture
Holiday picture book, 40 pages. Published by Viking Books for Young Readers in 2014.

More Relevant than the Classic

Wow!  This is a wonderfully written verse in two languages in the classic style and meter of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas!  The author wrote the story as a way to share with her daughter her memories of Christmas Eves in Guatemala and Mexico. Definitely an excellent addition to your holiday books - and perhaps more relevant than Moore's classic....

Ideas for Making it Real

What Christmas Eve traditions does your family observe? If you need some ideas to get started, ask an older family member - grandparent or great uncle - about their childhood traditions. You might discover something wonderful!

Learn how Christmas Eve is celebrated around the world at Green Globe Travel's site or explore your own cultural traditions which would fit your family.
