If you are looking to share a beautiful story that really hits home, pick up the book Too Many Tamales by Gary Soto and illustrated by Ed Martinez. It is the story of a diamond ring thought to be lost in a batch of tamales; of a desperate and funny attempt by Maria and her cousins to eat their way out of trouble; and the warm way a family pulls together to make it a perfect Christmas after all.
