Synopsis
A posada is an important Latino holiday tradition that happens all over the world on each of the nine nights before Christmas. There's a lot to do every night before the party can begin, and here a little girl guides us through each step—from putting out poinsettias to hanging the piñata—as she counts to ten in English and Spanish. Young readers can follow along by counting the different items mentioned. An author's note at the end of the story further explains the origins of the posada. Sprinkled with Spanish vocabulary and filled with lively illustrations, this is a posada no one should miss!

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–A brief, rhyming text tells the story of a Latino girl in a Southwestern setting as her family and friends celebrate with a traditional posada, a procession that re-enacts the search of Mary and Joseph for a room at an inn. Spanish words and their English translations are woven seamlessly into the narrative. Spanish usage may vary in some parts of the United States; in California and New Mexico, for example, the little paper lanterns are called farolitos. Kroll refers to them as faroles. The cartoonlike illustrations are exuberant and colorful but not very attractive. This title may be most useful in libraries where there is a need to explain Latino holiday customs to non-Latino children or to start a conversation about Christmas observances among youngsters of any ethnicity.–Virginia Walter, University of California, Los Angeles
