In Mexico, the poinsettia is called the flor de la Nochebuena -flower of the Holy Night.  At Christmastime, the flower blooms and flourishes, the exquisite red stars lighting up the countryside.  The myth and history of the poinsettia come to life in this touching story of the beauty and power of a child's simple gift.
