Christmas Picture Book Review: Hooray, It's Three Kings Day! by Annette M. Clayton

A book that celebrates family traditions and the meaning of a special holiday is what you will find in Hooray, It's Three Kings Day! by Annette M. Clayton.

Sofia is excited because it is Christmas Day, which means Abuela leaves Puerto Rico to celebrate the Christmas season with Sofia and her family. Sofia hops onto Abuela's lap to learn the story of the Three Kings and Three King's Day--El Día de Reyes. Filled with activities, special food, and an unexpected gift from Abuela, Sofia is eager to share all about Three King's Day when she grows up.

With charming and colorful illustrations by artist Jone Leal, Clayton brings the history and traditions of Three Kings Day to young readers. As Sofia learns more about her Abuela's santos, she enjoys all the special things about the Christmas season: spending time with relatives, wintertime outdoor activities, eating special desserts, and Three Kings Day traditions. Clayton provides resources for the reader, like an explanation of Three Kings Day, a helpful glossary, and a fun recipe. A touching Author's Note shares a personal experience.

Hooray, It's Three Kings Day! is an adorable picture book that will enchant young readers.
