A bilingual countdown to Nochebuena

The countdown moves from twelve to one as a family gathers for Nochebuena, with each number tied to a holiday detail such as chiming clocks, festive food, or musicians growing tired. English and Spanish alternate in the text, while illustrations offer context clues. The celebration bridges Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, bringing together family members young and old for food, music, and the opening of presents. Inspired by the author-illustrator’s Cuban American heritage, the book places Latine Christmas Eve traditions at the center of a counting story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children practicing counting through a holiday story
  • Families interested in a bilingual English-Spanish Christmas Eve book
  • Readers seeking children’s books centered on Latine holiday traditions
