(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Martinez. Carlson explains that her story combines several Latino traditions surrounding this holiday. For their Three Kings' Day celebration, Anita and her brothers take part in a parade, go door to door looking for the baby Jesus, and leave out shoes for the Three Kings to fill with gifts. Plot and character development are less important than the enumeration of holiday customs, but the warm text and oil paintings give the book some depth.
