Publisher's Synopsis
It is a special time of year in the jungle, and Angelica has been busily weaving and braiding all year to prepare for tonight-Christmas Eve.
What has she been weaving and braiding? Angelica has gathered cherished materials from the jungle, with the help of her animal friends, and has been making the wish-granting chain taught to her by her mama and abuela Tierra. The wish-granting chain must wrap around the whole world, exactly along the equator, on Christmas Eve, so that the children can cast upon it their one yearly wish for knowledge.
How will their wishes be granted? With the help of Abuela Tierra, the power of the earth and sky, and the network of Cotopaxi, the volcano, all children will wake up a little bit wiser come Christmas morning.
R. Brown and B. A. A. Brown have masterfully created a fable to be added to the Christmas collection. Whimsically written, with stunning narrative imagery, children and adults around the world will welcome the telling of Weaving the Christmas Chain.
