(2) K-3 Illustrated by Angela Dominguez. A little girl spends Christmas in Miami's Little Havana. Her family members include her in their Cuban holiday traditions, especially preparations for "La Noche Buena" (Christmas Eve). On the big night, she joins in a feast, attends midnight mass, and dances until the sun comes up. Upbeat acrylic illustrations in tropical colors capture the warmth of family togetherness and joyous celebration.
