On the night before Nochebuena, a beautiful sugar figurine is touched by magic and comes awake. She shares her magic with the other sugar figures and they celebrate together the magic of the season. When disaster strikes, the figurines hurry to repair the damage before their baker awakes.
Christmas magic bringing inanimate objects to life is an important part of many Christmas stories. Valenti’s story is based on her grandmother’s sugar molding talent that brought so much magic to her own life. The bright illustrations enhance the Latinx tradition on display.
