This fully illustrated picture book is a festive Latino twist on "The Twelve Days of Christmas." On the fifth day of Christmas, my amiga gave to me, "cinco guitarritas, cuatro luminarias, tres tamalitos, dos pastelitos, and a pinata in a pine tree." Words in Spanish on every page with pronunciation guides and glossary.
Using the Nguzo Saba, "or seven principles" of Kwanzaa, the author creates a story that shows how family members can pull together for their own good and the good of the entire community.
Wander through the winter woods and along frozen creeks to observe eagles, deer, muskrats and other wildlife as the winter solstice arrives in the north woods. Beautifully painted full-page illustrations.
