Federico, who lives in an unnamed Latin American country, worries that on Epiphany Day the Three Wise Men won't bring him a gift because he has misbehaved. His age-appropriate concerns give this tale universal appeal, and dreamlike illustrations are suffused with the magic of the season. A glossary translates the few Spanish words sprinkled throughout the text.
