This is another author I've seen often and I'm glad this is my first read from them. The book has 3 stories, some informative notes from the author, and some holiday carols (which I couldn't read because I cant read music sheets!). If you want to learn more about Posadas, the Wise Kings, and the Poinsettia, this is a good start! #tmskellington #wintergame #holidayread

Review story 2: This one is more of an informative narrative of who the three wise kings are and what they did when they learned of Jesus's birth. Short and simple #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

Review Story 1: A miracle happens at la Posada after "Maria and Jose" get snowed in. It's a very interesting story for me since I'm able to compare it to the posadas that happen in Mexico. How traditions and interpretations can change from one location to the next! #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

#WinterWonderland Day 23: This book compiles 3 of DePaola‘s holiday favourites & 5 Christmas songs with musical notes & DePaola‘s trademark illustrations. There is #MarysBoyChild here as Las Posadas features how families walk in procession as they relive Joseph & Mary‘s search for an inn (a posada). The procession ends with hot chocolate and cookies to celebrate Christ‘s birth. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6SM
