The first pages

In December, Mateo's neighbourhood in Tucson, Arizona glowed with little paper lanterns. "Tonight we join Las Posadas," said his abuelo.

Las Posadas is a tradition from Mexico held on nine nights before Christmas. People walk together and sing, remembering Mary and Joseph searching for a place to stay.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
