"Ms. Retana tenderly tells of her childhood memories of special Cuban traditions around the Christmas holiday. Accompanied by Salva Ferrando's delightful illustrations, we are taken to a Cuban home in the early 1960's and shown their family traditions, which were so cherished by the author and her sister. This is a heartwarming, bilingual book that would be perfect to read to children not only during the holidays, but all year long."
