"Baboushka, verse by Edith M. Thomas, music by Mary Clement Sanks": p. [26]-[27].

Ceci anxiously awaits her first posada, the special Mexican Christmas party, and the opportunity to select a piñata for it.

An old woman who was too busy to travel with the Wise Men to find the Child now searches endlessly for Him each Christmas season.

Meet Babushka, a woman who is so busy focusing on the little things, that she hardly notices the miraculous events going on around her. This touching Christmas story shows that the more you give away in love, the more you will receive.

Baboushka is too busy cleaning and polishing her already cleaned and polished house to join the three strangers who stop in the village on their way to seek a new baby king. When she later changes her mind, she searches for them to no avail--and it is said she still searches today. Full-color stylized art captures the flavor of this classic Russian fable.
