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, Its 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 will also be released in Spanish.
Also available in a Spanish language edition, and also available for personal reading lists in a digital book format (Kindle, $16.19), "Hooray, It's Three Kings Day!" is a charmingly entertaining picture book that is an ideal and welcome pick for family, elementary school, Sunday School, and community library Christmas themed picture book collections for children ages 5-7. * Midwest Book Review *
