’Twas the Night of Taquitos

It’s Christmas Eve in a snow-dusted adobe village, and the taquitos have a busy night ahead. There are carols to sing, presents to wrap, and mugs of hot cocoa to finish before Santa comes down the chimney. Outside, luminarias light the snowy streets. Inside, little taquitos in scarves and Santa hats are doing their best to settle down for bed.

’Twas the Night of Taquitos by Rory Noelle is a rhyming Christmas board book inspired by the traditions and scenery of New Mexico. Short, mostly English rhymes weave in simple Spanish words, and the gouache-style illustrations take readers from candlelit streets to cozy adobe homes. There’s a whole village of taquitos to spot, making this a fun one to read aloud and linger over together.
