¡Una niña y su familia se preparan para la fiesta de quince años de su hermanan mayor!

A little girl and her family are preparing for her older sister's quinceañera birthday!

Era la noche antes de
la fiesta de quince años.
Todos en nuestra familia
se ocupaban del cumpleaños.

¡Una niña se prepara para celebrar los quince años de su hermana mayor! Va a ser una gran fiesta con todos los amigos y familiares. Harán bailes especiales, comerán mucho y se pondrán vestidos hermosos. Pero cuando se pierde la corona de la quinceañera, no está claro si podrán continuar con la celebración. ¿Podrá salvarse la fiesta? ¡Lee el libro para que lo averigües!


’Twas the night before the quinceañera
and all through the halls,
our family was busy
answering calls.

A little girl is getting ready to celebrate her older sister's quinceañera! There's going to be a huge celebration with all their friends and family for her sister's fifteenth birthday. They will do special dances, eat lots of food, and wear beautiful dresses. But when the quinceañera's crown goes missing, they're not sure the celebration can go on. Will the party be saved? You'll have to read along to find out!

Told in the style of Clement C. Moore's classic tale, this storybook is the perfect gift to celebrate quinceañeras!
