The Legend of the Poinsettia retold and illustrated by Tomie dePaola*

Lucida is excited to help her mother make a blanket for the Christ child.  Her mother, however, becomes ill, and Lucida only tangles the unfinished blanket resting in the loom.  What gift can she bring to the Christ child that is worthy enough?
*Highly recommend.
