Luis’s garden is where the little boy practicesreading and writing. But just as importantly, it’s also where he learns wonderfulthings from Luis, like the names of all the birds in the trees and new expressions that are so much fun to say. Luis's playful vocabulary is as vibrant and full of life as his garden, and phrases that are particular to his way of talking, like "at the drop of a cat" (which means right away), are soon adapted into the little boy's lexicon, too.A talented cook, artist, an
