# The Last Slice: A Three Kings Day Treat - Hardcover

by **Melissa Seron Richardson** (Author), **Monica Arnaldo** (Illustrator)

**A hilarious holiday tale about the highs and lows of eating one very special Three Kings Day dessert: the Rosca de Reyes, a sweet bread with a figurine of the baby Jesus hidden inside!**

Marta is finally old enough for her own slice of the special, sneaky dessert she loves so much--la Rosca de Reyes.

The colorful crown of sweet bread is so tempting, but Marta knows the truth--there's a _baby_ hiding in the dessert: el Ni Dios. Marta can't help but wonder what will happen if she accidentally _eats_ the little figurine of baby Jesus.

Suddenly, Marta will do whatever it takes to avoid picking the last slice of la rosca--no matter how badly she wants a bite!

This humorous story of one girl's journey to overcome her fears explores the traditions of Three Kings Day and the importance of family and faith.
