Piñata in a Pine Tree: A Latino Twelve Days of Christmas
Illustrated by Magaly Morales (photo at right)
Publisher: Clarion Books
This version of the popular “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” uses words in Spanish and holiday elements popular in Latino holiday celebrations. Many who know the song written in England may not know that the twelve days begin on Christmas and end January 5, twelfth night, the night before Epiphany, the Feast of the Three Kings. January 6 is more important in Latin American than in the United States.
