Description

Inspired by Clement Clarke Moores "The Night Before Christmas," La Noche Before Three Kings Day is a perfect Latinx holiday tale.

Its almost Three Kings Day, and while the grownups prepare a large meal, the kids prepare their shoe boxes for los Reyes to arrive later that night. Will they stay up late enough to wish the Kings a Feliz Da de los Reyes Or will the magic pass them by

Sing along with a great big familia as they fill up their platos, play their favorite juegos, and wait for the three kings and regalitos to arrive.

This enchanting celebration of a beloved Latinx holiday is brought to life through lively rhyming dual-lingual text by Sheila Coln-Bagley with festive illustrations from Alejandro Mesa.
