The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie dePaola.

In the legend of the poinsettia… Lucida was frightend to go into the church. But she was worried. Because her mom died. Then to make her mom better she put some Poinsettia’s. Then she said you’ll feel better. Senora Gomez took Lupe and Paco to the church. But Lucida did not go in. I like the part where Lucida said to her mom you’ll feel better. It was by the church. About ouside the front door. Lucida and her mom were helping making a blanket. When Lucida tried to do it herself the yarn got all tangled. There were 10 Poinsettia’s. Her mom’s favourite was the 3rd one. I do not like the part where her mom died. It was at her house. On february 6 on the evening. Lucida was very very sad. Now she only had her dad her 2 sister’s and herself. How she died was she got very sick. Her sister’s were both 3 year’s old.
