La Bloga: Where Fireflies Dance / Ahí, donde bailan las luciérnagas

“Lucha Corpi’s first book for children is a warm trip back to her own childhood memories of the tropical town of Jaltipan, Mexico. Where the Fireflies Dance is the story of young Lucha and her brother Victor told in the style of a Mexican grandmother telling stories by the fire. The story begins with Lucha and Victor braving a haunted house where the ghost of Juan Sebastian, once a soldier in Emiliano Zapata’s army, is said to roam. The story tells of the children’s love for music, of standing outside a cantina and saving their quarters just to be able to hear the music coming from the marvelous jukebox. They listen to their father sing corridos, boleros and other music every night, listen to their grandmother’s stories and learn of destiny.”
