Pepe and Sila are in bed with their grandmother on the night of the Three Kings. They are asking their grandmother more about this day to learn what is going to happen. Their grandmother would answer their questions and then they all fell asleep. As they slept, they dreamed they were flying with their grandmother seeing all the places she was talking about. They saw all the different places the secret stars were at. Once they woke up, they ran to where the hay box was to see all the presents the three kings brought them. Pepe got the piñata he wanted and Sila got a doll. At the end, they saw the secret stars on the pine cones in the trees.
I would use this book to teach students about another holiday that is celebrated in the Hispanic culture. This book explains what the holiday is and even shows how the Hispanic cultures celebrate it. I would use this book for students in grades PK through second grade because it is an easy-to-read book with language that students that age would comprehend. I would use this book in a culture unit or holiday unit like during Christmas time to show how different cultures celebrate different things, not just Christmas.
