Summary

International Latino Book Award Honorable Mention

In this Spanish edition of Dreams of Green: A Three Kings' Day Story, a girl and her family discover new ways to celebrate their Puerto Rican heritage in Ohio.

It’s eleven days after Christmas and Lucia yearns to be in lush Puerto Rico celebrating Día de los Reyes with family and friends. But this year, instead of dancing and singing in the parrandas of her Puerto Rican neighborhood, she is surrounded by cold and silence in snow-blanketed Ohio. How will she ever be able to guide the Three Kings to her new home in the frosty Midwest? This picture book is a celebration of Puerto Rican culture, heartwarming family tradition, and a reminder that we all carry a piece of home with us wherever life may take us.
