Los seis que buscaron la Navidad

This gentle story takes readers through the frozen woods of Finland, with distinctive art in gray and red hues. The Spanish translation will help readers broaden their vocabularies when it comes to sensory perception. The small trim size and extended text make this more appropriate forelementary readers. A good purchase for libraries serving Spanish-speaking communities or with bilingual programs, especially around the holiday.
—School Library JournalTrina Schart Hyman (1939 - 2004) received one Caldecott Medal and three Caldecott Honors during her distinguished career. From the age of four she knew that she would become an illustrator. She insisted that drawing was her reason for being. "I drew because I needed to," she said, "as well as for the sheer joy of it." She created iconic, exquisite illustrations for more than 150 books. Born in Philadelphia, she lived most of her life in New Hampshire.
