With a poet's magical vision, Francisco X. Alarcón takes young listeners back to his childhood when he traveled with his family to Mexico to visit his grandmother and other relatives. Listeners ride with him in the family station wagon across the misty mountain range to the little town of Atoyac, the beloved town of his ancestors. There he listens his grandma's colorful stories, samples Auntie Reginalda's tasty breakfasts, learns about the keys to the universe, and take playful dips in the warm sea.
