Too Many Tamales
Too Many Tamales
Maria is feeling grown-up, wearing her mother's apron and helping to make Christmas tamales for the big family celebration that evening. When her mother takes off her diamond ring to knead the dough, Maria decides to try it on. Later that night, after the tamales are done and the family has arrived, Maria realizes that the ring is gone. This delightful story will relieve young readers who empathize with the negligent Maria but are reminded about family love and forgiveness. Language: English
