In Mexico, the poinsettia is called "flor de la Nochebuenao" flower
of the Holy Night. At Christmastime, the flower blooms and
flourishes, the quite exquisite red stars lighting up the
countryside.
This Mexican legend tells how the poinsettia came to be, through
a little girl's unselfish gift to the Christ Child. Beloved Newbery
honor-winning author and Caldecott honor-winning illustrator Tomie
dePaola has embraced the legend using his own special feeling for
Christmas. His glorious paintings capture not only the brilliant
colors of Mexico and its art, but also the excitement of the
children preparing for Christmas and the hope of Lucida, who comes
to see what makes a gift truly beautiful.
