A lyrical picture book about the Poinsettia flower and the holiday traditions it has inspired First, the flower grew wild—a yellow blossom with bracts that turn brilliant red in winter. The ancient Nahuas cultivated it; then it inspired Mexico's most famous Christmas legend. After the flower caught the eye of Mexico's first US ambassador, it became known as the Poinsettia. Yet it has many more names and traditions—and even more colors! From Pura Belpre Honoree Alda P. Dobbs and illustrator Emily Mendoza comes a lyrical and vibrant picture book history of the flower that has given the world so much. Una flor. Dos naciones. Siete siglos. La historia de la Poinsettia. En un principio, fue silvestre—una flor amarilla con hojas que, en invierno, se tornan de un rojo vivo. Los antiguos nahuas la cultivaron, y después inspiró la leyenda navideña más famosa de México. Cuando la flor captó la atención del primer embajador de Estados Unidos a México, se le llamó Poinsettia. Sin embargo, tiene muchos más nombres, tradiciones... ¡y colores! De la autora Alda P. Dobbs, galardonada con el Premio de Honor Pura Belpré, y la ilustradora Emily Mendoza, llega este libro ilustrado, lírico y vibrante, que nos cuenta la historia de la flor que ha dejado una huella indeleble en el mundo.
