Description: Called "la Flor de la Nochebuena", in Mexico, the poinsettia, the flower of the Holy Night, blooms at Christmastime, the symbol of a little girl's unselfish gift to the Christ Child. Lucinda is heartbroken because she has nothing beautiful to bring to the Christmas procession, so she decides to watch from the shadows. But when an old woman convinces her that the Baby Jesus will love anything she can give, Lucida's simple gift turns out to be the most miraculous of all. With illustrations that capture the colours of Mexico as well as the magic and excitement of the season, Tomie dePaola imbues the tale with his own special feeling for Christmas.
