Product Description
Sister Angie has organized the celebration of Las Posadas for many years, in which the people of Santa Fe re-enact Mary and Joseph's search for shelter on the night Jesus was born. This year's performance promises to be very special. Sister Angie's niece Lupe and Lupe's husband, Roberto, are to play the parts of Mary and Joseph. But on the night of the celebration, a snowstorm hits and Lupe and Roberto's car breaks down on their way into town. And to make matters worse, Sister Angie is home sick with the flu. It seems that only a miracle will be able to save Las Posadas.
"Another beautiful offering from dePaola . . . The artist's distinctive acrylic artwork illuminates the story and radiates its reverence and warmth."(School Library Journal, starred review)

Debbie M. Naegle (Garland, Texas)
This book has beautiful illustrations and a story that warms the heart with tradition of Las Posadas in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It has a surprise ending.
 Better for older students December 31, 2007
Chic Chef (Irvine, CA)
I thought this would be helpful for teaching second graders about Las Posadas. The language was a too high for them. I don't plan on using this book next year. Overall, the book has a beautiful story and illustrations, but I will save it for my own kids, not my students.
Vintage dePaola! February 27, 2006
Scott Rutan (Walworth, NY)
Tomie dePaola has the unequaled ability to tell a story and weave into it profound elements of faith that can touch children and adults with equal depth.
This book is yet another "must have" for every family's and every church's bookshelf.

I bought this book for our Lutheran church library. It is excellent. It tells about the Hispanic Christmas custom of Las Posadas, Mary and Joseph's search for a place to stay the night of Jesus' birth. Lupe and Roberto, two townspeople, are selected to play Jose and Maria in the Las Posadas celebration, but when their pickup gets bogged down in the snow in the mountains above Santa Fe, two strangers come to play Jose and Maria instead, leaving the readers to wonder at the miraculous event --who were those two? What a lovely book.
Tomie, you never disappoint, whether your stories are religious, autobiographical, or just plain funny. Thank you for consistently sharing your talents with us lucky readers over the years. You bring us so much joy, laughter, comfort and peace!
