Delvis Fern‡ndez Levy was born and raised in Santa Clara, Cuba, where he managed to reach a bachelor degree beyond high school, despite the turmoil and rebellion around him. His upbringings were filled by a loving family. He graduated with honors from Westminster College, found a loving wife, and moved on for a masterÕs degree at the University of Miami. His first full time job was at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

He served as faculty advisor to the first Chicano Student Union and developed programs for the expansion of educational opportunities for students at Chabot College as well as labored doing mathematics research to receive a PhD degree from the University of California at Berkeley.

When his beloved sister passed away unexpectedly in Cuba, along with many other forces that called him to work for change, he founded the Cuban American Alliance Education Fund, Inc. (CAAEF).

He led delegations to meet with government officials and spoke at forums on U.S.-Cuba policy with editorials and opinion letters in many major newspapers, as well as publishing La Alborada, Spanish-English newsletter. He participated in radio and TV interviews and was featured in several documentary films about U.S.-Cuban affairs. He has been a speaker at press conferences in Congress, the National Press Club, and given lectures at various colleges and universities, from UCLA to Fordham University, and served on the boards of many organizations.

With the completion of this life story and advocacy work, he also hopes that people will recognize that many of yesterdayÕs challenges remain the same today and with awareness of injustice goodness will flow and bring hope to building a better world for our Gran Familia.

Account of a Review from a St. Nicholas
I have been representing the spirit of St. Nicholas for children for the past 26 years. I have been everything from a Mall Santa to a part in a Christmas Program at our local church. About ten years ago, I started reading this story to the children of the local cops & firefighters fairly close to Christmas Eve each year from an old tattered children's book. I usually hosted this in my own living room until it got too large to do so. This year we opened that reading up to the community and filled the basement of our local library with children and their parents. I needed something to replace the old tattered children's book with and this fit the bill. The illustrations are beautiful and the words large enough to read in front of a group of children. I wish the pages were a little more robust as they are difficult to turn with white gloves on but that is minor. I cannot recommend this edition of the timeless story enough.

“Twas the Night before Christmas” illustrated by Matt Tavares
Format: Hardcover
Clement C. Moore - “Twas the Night before Christmas” is a perennial holiday favorite of mine. Matt Tavares’ monochrome illustrations are incredible! Mr. Tavares’ version remains true to the text within the original 1823 poem, ”A Visit from St. Nicholas”. As noted - two original reindeer names – Dunder and Blixem. I highly recommend Irish illustrator PJ Lynch 2021 version and American illustrator Matt Tavares 2022 version of Moore’s “Twas the Night before Christmas”.

This beautiful story of Saint Nicholas completely unedited!
This is the complete story, a visit from Saint Nicholas! Also known as twas the night before Christmas! This is the original how it was written and the classic that has lived and will continue to live on forever in everyone's heart! This is not the edited version by the thought police. This is the classic in all its Glory celebrating Saint Nicholas and Christmas and the beauty of Christmas and Saint Nicholas. That has been enjoyed by generations since it was first written before it's destruction by editing. Buy this book! This is the original as it was intended that generations have enjoyed young and old alike!

Tavares' beautiful craftsmanship brings Moore's poem to life
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas: or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas is a beautifully illustrated edition of the famed Clement C. Moore poem. Using the original anonymous version of the poem (later attributed to Moore), artist Matt Tavares crafts a series of elegant black and white illustrations that captures its enchantment and whimsy. Additionally, the book’s layout has a simple yet classic design with green trim and subtle pieces of shading that give it a majestic look and feel. One of the best editions of the poem ever published, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas: or Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas has a bit of magic all its own.

Beautiful book
I purchased this book for my kids to read as it gets closer to Christmas. I specifically chose it because of the old world charm it has. I love the black and white sketches and the fact that the outdoor scenes of brownstones were illustrated from Boston brownstones, where we used to live. This book is just a classic and the illustrations have such depth and emotion. There is that quality and detail you can only get from black and white..and from an amazing illustrator. Lovely book. I'm very happy to own it and have it as part of our Christmas tradition..a lot more special to me than Elf on The Shelf..which was last years Christmas book purchase.
