Under the full moon, Abuela leads an enchanted dance, bows to the sky
and the night winds, and helps her curious grandson discover the rhythm
of his heartbeat while listening to the great secret of the plátanos.
At first his tiny ears couldn't hear it, but Abuela shares that she
can't teach something that only her heart knows. This loving and tender
story of the magical union between a grandmother and her grandson was
penned by Dominican author, Luz Maria Mack, and inspired by a dream
where she and her Abuela met again to dance and share the secrets of the
plátanos.
Sometimes the secrets of life are written in nature, under the stars,
and in the sounds of the whispering leaves.
