Two friends enter the world of Little People, who have musical names and plants that sing. When the land is invaded by giants who steal from the present and future, the visitors are challenged to help. The clue to survival comes from a prehistoric creature who is a time traveler and who offers a beautiful vision of the future. A classic utopian story, with a lyrical tone, opens the door to an alternate vision of the world that challenges you to find your true name.
The author offers this utopian tale, which embraces the struggle of the world's "little people." His life pursuits have been in favor of the underdog, helping to found and work at a progressive charter school in a poor urban area, visiting and bringing aid to a remote village in the interior of Guatemala, and offering classes and many of his works for free.
