Translated by Enrique Lamadrid.
Illustrated by
Amy Cordova.
When Don Jacobo, a santero, teaches his grandson the art of carving wooden saints, a saint they work on together creates a Christmas miracle. Suitable for reading aloud in English or Spanish, the story is too long but successfully evokes the spirit of community. The illustrations portray the characters with just the right sense of humanity. Glos.
