A grandfather shares stories of his life's challenges with his grandson to teach him to have courage and confidence. At the end of each story, he tells his grandson, "El sol no se tapa con un dedo." This is the story of a young boy who deals with the harshness of criticism associated with a talent he knows he has through several stages of his life. It is also a story of how those we love can influence our lives and how the strength they have provided can continue to live on from generation to generation. Coffee and Cedar is a story that both adults and children can appreciate and enjoy over and over again.
