In this Christmas worksheet, students learn about a famous children’s writer from Madrid, and read an extract from her book. The extract is from Celia, lo que dice (1929) and tells the story of a young girl on La Noche de los Reyes Magos (the celebration of Epiphany and when Spanish children receive their Christmas presents!)
The worksheet includes a short text on the interesting background behind the author and the books and stimulates interest in Spanish children’s literature from the civil war times. It also provides links to www.librosalacalle.com for many more authentic examples of classic and modern Spanish literature.
