"Legend of the Poinsettia" by Tomie dePaola tells the beautiful story of a young girl named Lucia who is saddened because she has no gift to bring to the Christmas celebration at the church. After witnessing her mother's loving encouragement, she gathers her courage and picks some weeds on her way, thinking they might not be good enough. However, when she presents them at the church, her humble offering transforms into a stunning bouquet of vibrant poinsettias. This enchanting tale weaves themes of love, generosity, and the spirit of Christmas, showing how beauty can arise from unexpected places. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
