ISBN: 0395928699

An award-winning author uses his own childhood as inspiration for
this bilingual (English/Spanish) holiday story. Panchito, a boy growing
up in a family of migrant farm workers in California, wants a bright
red ball for Christmas. Unfortunately, his parents cannot afford to
get such a gift for him. But as Christmas arrives, Panchito and his
family realize that difficult times don't mean they don't have anything
to celebrate --- they have each other.
