Frederico, have you written to the Magi with your wish?

It's almost Epiphany Day, and that means that the Three Wise Men, or Magi, will be coming with gifts to fill all the good children's shoes. Little Federico has been naughty and its worried he won't get the little toy horse, or caballito, he asked for. He just hopes the Magi will know that in his heart he truly meant to be good.

After getting water and hay ready for the Magi's camels, it's time for bed. But when Federico tries to sleep, the thought of the Magi's arrival keeps him awake; soon he's outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the three magical men riding through the night sky. And then he sees them! And he sees his caballito, too! But can he get back to bed, where all good children should be, begore the Magi arrive?

In this gorgeously illustrated Latin American-style Christmas story, Beatriz Vidal has created an enchanting tale that will have readers of all ages sharing in Federico's delight and wonder.
