With
a poet's magical vision, renowned poet Francisco X. Alarcón takes
us back to his childhood when he traveled with his family to Mexico to
visit his grandmother and other relatives. We travel with him in the family
station wagon, across the misty mountain range to the little town of Atoyac.
There, in the beloved town of his ancestors, we hear his grandmother's
stories, sample Auntie Reginalda's tasty breakfasts, learn about the keys
to the universe, and take playful dips in the warm sea.
The lighthearted illustrations of Maya Christina Gonzalez perfectly capture
the spirit of summer in Alarcón's Mexico where "colors are more
colorful, tastes are tastier, and even time seems to slow down."
