    Praise

    PRAISE FOR ‘TWAS NOCHEBUENA:

    “A linguistic and visual treat. The lyrical blend of English and Spanish and vibrant action-packed illustrations make this ideal for read-alouds.” —Booklist

    “Thong’s humorous verse follows Clement Moore’s strong rhythm without faltering—despite the metrical challenges of working in two languages at once. Palacios’s warm, earth-toned illustrations of a happy multigenerational family invite readers into the festivities, whether these tradiciones are familiar or new to them.”  —Horn Book

    “This pleasant family story conveys strong family bonds and traditions while offering non-Spanish speakers a way to learn some basic vocabulary.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “This lively picture book offers a wonderful way to celebrate and learn about Latino Christmas traditions.” —School Library Journal
