Dreams of Green: A Three Kings' Day Story

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mónica Paola Rodríguez. Lucía is afraid the Three Kings won’t be able to find her in her new home: unlike Puerto Rico, Ohio in January has no grass to guide their camels. Lucía’s family reassures her, and together they keep old holiday traditions alive (Mamá bakes mallorcas) and make new ones (they gather pine needles for the camels). Soft, digitally rendered illustrations highlight the beauty and fun Lucía finds in her family’s new experience of winter and the warmth they create for the holiday. More information about the holiday is appended. Concurrently published in Spanish as El verde de mis sueños.
