every creature was kneading tamale masa...

It's Christmas Eve, and you're invited to a Nochebuena celebration! Follow a family as they prepare to host a night filled with laughter, love, and Latino tradition.

Savor the magic of Nochebuena with a holiday tale you'll want to read again and again.

'Twas Nochebuena Reviews

PRAISE FOR 'TWAS NOCHEBUENA:

A linguistic and visual treat. The lyrical blend of English and Spanish and vibrant action-packed illustrations make this ideal for read-alouds. -Booklist

Thong's humorous verse follows Clement Moore's strong rhythm without faltering-despite the metrical challenges of working in two languages at once. Palacios's warm, earth-toned illustrations of a happy multigenerational family invite readers into the festivities, whether these tradiciones are familiar or new to them. -Horn Book

This pleasant family story conveys strong family bonds and traditions while offering non-Spanish speakers a way to learn some basic vocabulary. -Kirkus Reviews

This lively picture book offers a wonderful way to celebrate and learn about Latino Christmas traditions. -School Library Journal
