(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Wolff. On Christmas Eve, Spanish-speaking family members cook a holiday meal, complete with "tamales, nachos y tostadas," and decorate their tree with "adornos navideños." The next morning they discover that Pancho Claus has visited, bringing plenty of joy and "regalitos." Inspired by Latino Christmas traditions, Orozco's "The Night Before Christmas" adaptation begs to be read aloud. Wolff's warm gouache and pastel illustrations emphasize family. Glos.
