The Miracle of the First Poinsettia by Joanne Oppenheim
Originally native to Mexico, beautiful poinsettia plants decorate homes around the world every Christmas. In this extraordinary collaboration, Fabian Negrin brings his warm, glowing scenes to Joanne Oppenheim's thoughtful narrative which explores the traditional Mexican tale of how the first poinsettia came to be, transporting readers to Old-World Mexico and into the arms of a young girl as her trust leads her straight into a miracle.
Joanne Oppenheim is the critically acclaimed author of more than fifty books for and about children, which have won US awards such as the IRA Big Book Award (1993) and the Ezra Jack Keats Award (1998). A former elementary teacher, Joanne has received widespread recognition for her work in child development, education and children's literature. Joanne is currently the President of Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Inc., a New York based organisation that reviews children's media, including toys, books, videos, music and software. Fabian Negrin is a native Argentinean whose magical, dreamlike paintings have illuminated the pages of five other books for children, including The Secret Footprints (Knopf, 2000) and Gauchada (Knopf, 2001). Fabian lived in Mexico for many years and now makes his home in Italy with his wife and son. This is his first title for Barefoot Books.
