Feeling confined in her quiet shore village and wishing she could be at sea, Cristiana is drawn to an old boat called the "Cristóbal Colón," and uses it as her audience as she retells the story of Columbus and his voyages, mixed with her own life and memories.

Enrique and Isabel love to be at their grandmothers house. She prepares them the most delicious meals and desserts, and takes them on a tour through foods, storytelling, and nursery rhymes. The author has chosen the relaxed, caring setting of Grandmas house to delve into fantasy: a safe place where children can play, make believe, and enjoy the sound of words.
