Summary

Antes de que se encienda la primera luz navideña, Abuela está en la cocina, preparando miles de tamales para asegurar regalos para su familia. Este cuento conmovedor, basado en una historia real, explora la generosidad ilimitada de una abuela y la irresistible magia de los tamales.

Cuando llega el frío, pero mucho antes de que se decore el árbol de Navidad, la abuela se prepara. Con tantos hijos y nietos en su familia, encuentra una manera de poner regalos debajo del árbol: ¡vendiendo tamales!

Con masa en una mano y hojas de maíz en la otra, la abuela comienza. 15 tamales. Cuando pasa Halloween y el Día de Acción de Gracias, la abuela sigue trabajando duro: 150 tamales, 700 tamales, 850 tamales. Cuando llega el momento de colocar las luces, ¡ha hecho casi mil tamales! Lo suficiente para ayudar a los necesitados y además llenar el árbol con regalos para sus seres queridos.

     Basada en la propia abuela del autor, quien era el corazón de la familia, esta es una cálida historia sobre la Navidad, la generosidad y, sí, los tamales.

Before the first Christmas light is strung, Grandma is hard at work, making thousands of tamales to ensure gifts for her family. This heartwarming tale, based on a true story, explores a grandmother's boundless generosity, and the irresistible magic of tamales.

When the weather changes, but way before the Christmas tree is decorated, Grandma prepares. With so many children and grandchildren in her family, she finds a way to put gifts under the tree-- she sells as many tamales as she can! Masa in one hand, corn husks in the other, Grandma’s just getting started. 15 tamales. As Halloween passes, and Thanksgiving, Grandma is still toiling away in the kitchen: 150 tamales, 700 tamales, 850 tamales. When it’s time to string the lights for Christmas, she’s inching closer to 1000 tamales! Enough to give to those in need and pack the tree with gifts for her loved ones.

Based on the author’s own grandmother, who was the heart of the familia, here is a warm story about Christmas, generosity, and, yes, tamales.
