When Christmas Feels like Home

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carolina Farias. Eduardo moves from a village where the kids play fútbol to Sleepy Tree Lane, where the kids play football, ride school buses, eat Thanksgiving turkey, and put up Christmas trees. Homesickness aside, Eduardo's immigration experience is conflict-free; but warmly colored, comfortably rounded illustrations ably capture the change of the seasons and the happy anticipation that the wait for Christmas can provide.
