3 posts | 1 read
With honesty and grace, award-winning author Francisco Jimnez shares his most poignant Christmas memory in this beautifully illustrated picture book. As Christmas approaches, Panchito cant wait to see what present he gets. But on Christmas Day, he is disappointed when all he gets is a bag of candy, until he sees the gift his father gives his mother. Panchito then realizes that gifts of the heart are the most precious of all.

This was the first year I can remember that I didn't get a single book for Christmas. BUT my husband did get me the new kindle paperwhite. I didn't technically NEED a new one. Mine worked perfectly fine, but I do ❤ the larger screen, the much longer battery life, and maybe my favorite thing - the USB c port so it's compatible with everything else in my life. I have a case on order, and once it arrives all will be right with my world. 😁

EvieBee I love mine too! It so sleek, right? 2y

Francisco Jimenéz draws from his experience as a young child growing up in a migrant family in California. Panchito desperately wants a red ball, but the family has no money for that kind of present.

When his mother receives a small gift from his father and he sees her joyous reaction at such a gift he decides to be grateful for what he does have.
