A wonderfully illustrated, poetic exchange between mother and son tells the story of where bread comes from and how it feeds people around the world. The text moves fluidly between the story, in English, and the song, in Spanish.

In light-hearted, rhythmic, short rhyming phrases, little children, who are brown, greet their island world, depicted in bright, minimalist, silhouetted illustrations for an overall care-free and fun-filled experience to be appreciated by pre- and early-readers, and their adults.
