Christmas means family: everyone gathered together in joyful celebration. But what if one beloved member is missing? That's the situation so movingly explored in this exceptional - and stunningly illustrated - tale of Pablo and his family, set in the Mexican countryside. Because Mama is going to have a new baby, Pablo's father has gone off to America to earn extra money. That makes Pablo the man of the house - chasing coyotes away from the hens, comforting his worried mother and sisters and trying to make presents for everyone. But now Christmas is near - will Papa be home for the holidays? Children will hang on to every word in this wonderful tale that teaches children the meaning of family.
