The Miracle of the First Poinsettia - A Mexican Christmas Story

Native to Mexico, beautiful poinsettia plants decorate homes around the world every Christmas. But few people who love the plant's deep red tones know the traditional Mexican tale about how the poinsettia first came to be. In this extraordinary collaboration, Fabian Negrin brings his warm, glowing scenes to Joanne Oppenheim's thoughtful narrative, transporting readers to Old-World Mexico and into the arms of a young girl as her trust leads her straight into a miracle. A beautiful alternative to the traditional nativity story, this book is a wonderful evocation of Mexican customs and culture.

It was then that Juanita realized that the armful of weeds she was carrying had miraculously transformed into the most beautiful star-shaped scarlet-red flowers that she had ever seen.
