Description

With a poet's magical vision, Alarcon takes us back to his childhood when he traveled with his family to Mexico to visit his grandma 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 grandma's stories, sample Auntie Reginalda's tasty breakfasts, learn about the keys to the universe, and take playful dips in the warm sea. 

Con una visión mágica de poeta, Alarcón nos transporta a su infancia cuando viajaba con su familia a México para visitar a su abuela y otros familiares. Viajamos con él en la camioneta familiar, a través de la brumosa cordillera hasta el pueblito de Atoyac. Allí, en el amado pueblo de sus antepasados, escuchamos las historias de su abuela, degustamos los sabrosos desayunos de la tía Reginalda, aprendemos sobre las claves del universo y nos damos divertidos chapuzones en el cálido mar.
