Carina spends every Saturday visiting Tía Mimi in her lively barrio, where everything seems to dance with sound. Music drifts from open windows, old stories swirl through the warm air, and car horns beep a cheerful rhythm. Every Saturday, Carina and her aunt make empanadas together, singing their favorite song: “I like empanadas! I like you! ¡Me gustan las empanadas! ¡Me gustas tú!”
The hills and small towns of western North Carolina in the 1950s come to life in this collection of stories by master storyteller Donald Davis. He’s shared his tales everywhere—from the World’s Fair to the Smithsonian to the National Storytelling Festival—and now he invites readers into the adventures of his own childhood. His stories follow him from his earliest school days all the way to the moment he begins to understand the big changes happening in the world, including the loss of friends during the Vietnam War.
