Three Kings Day: A Celebration at Christmastime

Three Kings Day: A Celebration at Christmastime by Hoyt-Goldsmith, Diane. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780823418398.

For many Latino Americans one of the best things about Christmas is that it lasts for twelve days. The final day, Three Kings Day, comes on January 6 and honours the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem. Its a favourite holiday for children, with presents from the kings as well as parades, performances, parties, lively music, and scrumptious food. While describing the customs and revelry ten-year-old Veronica shares with her family and New York Citys Puerto Rican community, this book portrays a celebration that is rich in tradition and artistry. A glossary and index are included.
