Originally native to Mexico, beautiful poinsettia plants decorate homes around the world every Christmas. In this extraordinary collaboration, Fabian Negrin brings his warm, glowing scenes to Joanne Oppenheim's thoughtful narrative which explores the traditional Mexican tale of how the first poinsettia came to be, transporting readers to Old-World Mexico and into the arms of a young girl as her trust leads her straight into a miracle.
