’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!
