Synopsis
Rosa is ten years old, and she lives with her grandmother, her little brother, and her uncle in a small town in Mexico. But her mother lives in the United States, trying to earn much-needed money to send home to her family. So Rosa has not seen her mother in three years. She misses her mama all the time, but most particularly in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This year, Rosa hopes her mother will finally be able to come home for Navidad and stay with her in Santa Catarina forever.

About the Author
Harriet Ziefert draws on a true story told to her by Santiago Cohen for the text of this Christmas tale. This is her first picture book collaboration with him, though they know each other from their many years in neighboring New Jersey towns.
From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 3. Rosa, 10, hasn't seen her mother for three years, since Mama left their Mexican village to work in New York and send money back to the family. Now Mama is working extra hours, saving for what she hopes will be a one-way ticket home, and Rosa dreams the family will be together for Navidad. The bright double-page paintings in folk-art style show the child's daily life, as she is cared for by her kind grandmother and uncle. In the early morning she picks corn. Then a beautiful double-page spread shows a red pickup truck fetching children from the bright green fields to drive them to a one-room schoolhouse. Later Rosa helps Abuela wash clothes in the river. The last pages show Rosa's dream of reunion and celebration, but it's still not certain that her dream will come true. Spanish words are part of the story, with a glossary at the end, and the combination of simple words and bold, vibrant art relays the wrenching family separation from the child's viewpoint.
