¿Ya están listos para los reyes magos? Have you put your shoe out for los Reyes Magos to leave you gifts? 👑👑👑

Three King's Day (January 6th) is a celebration of when the 3 wise men (or 3 kings) arrived to bring gifts to baby Jesus. Though it is a religious holiday, it has deep cultural significance in México and diaspora communities. Kids put out their shoes for the Reyes Magos to leave them gifts. Families also eat a Rosca de Reyes, a type of sweet bread, to celebrate.

How are you planning to celebrate? ¿Cómo van a celebrar ustedes?

Here is a book list with some picture books you can check out from County Public Library to celebrate the holiday: https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/2343658419/2439233119
