Beschrijving

This book is rich with fascinating traditions from the Latino culture.  
 
This picture book, written in 1959, tells the story of a young girl in Mexico who is hosting her first Christmas party.  
 
The girl hopes to have a pinata at her party. When the day of the party finally arrives and she does in fact have a beautiful pinata which she was able to choose herself, she is devastated when she realizes it will be crushed.  
In the end, the pinata, which is shaped like a star, disappears into the night sky where she knows it will live forever.  
 
"Nine Days to Christmas" is highly recommended. Aurora Labastida was the librarian for children's books in Mexico City and she cowrote this story with Marie Ets who was the illustrator.  
The book won the 1960 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a children's book.
