What if the humble poinsettia held a sacred secret?In The Naming of the Poinsettia: Nochebuena in The Midnight Play, Michele Jeanmarie weaves together three beloved traditions: the Nativity, the poinsettia legend, and Sacred Scripture into a luminous and thought-provoking Christmas tale. Set in a vibrant Mexican village preparing for the Midnight Mass, this children’s book follows a young girl longing to contribute something meaningful to her church. With no gifts to give, she picks simple green leaves from the roadside and unknowingly sets a miracle in motion.While the familiar story of Christ’s birth unfolds in a play, a narrator quietly draws powerful connections between the Old and New Testaments. From Mary as the new Ark of the Covenant to Jesus as the Bread of Life foreshadowed in the manger, this richly layered narrative offers a catechetical journey fit for both young readers and the adults who guide them. And at the heart of it all blooms the unexpected transformation of the poinsettia, known in Spanish as Nochebuena, or 'Good Night.'This faith-based children’s book is ideal for Advent, Christmas Eve, and Catholic classrooms. It gently teaches biblical parallels, celebrates Mexican holiday traditions, and honors the miracle of giving from the heart.Perfect for families, schools, and Sunday lessons. Discover the story behind the poinsettia and the deeper mystery of Christmas.
