Thanks to Disney for sending me the book, and for providing a prize pack. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to meet producer Craig Gerber and Writer Silvia Olivas of Elena of Avalor. I know my girls would like to see how Elena celebrates the holiday season and I bet your little one does too!
My youngest loves the stories that this Disney princess shares with her followers and we are happy to share that Elena of Avalor will be celebrating the holidays this season.
FELIZ NAVIDAD: A ROYAL CHRISTMAS
In stores now!
Recommended for ages 6-8
Elena decides to host one big Navidad celebration in the park so that everyone can celebrate together. But each community is more interested in proving that their traditions are the best. Can Elena help her subjects see what the holidays are really about?
About Elena of Avalor
The fable, set in an unspecified time period, incorporates influences from diverse Latin and Hispanic cultures. It introduces Elena as a brave and adventurous teenager who saves her kingdom from an evil sorceress and must now learn to rule as crown princess until she is old enough to be queen. Elena’s journey will lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders.
