Once upon a time, a young girl lived in a bungalow in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee. At first glance, the girl’s house was modest, with a tan-brick exterior and cozy-sized rooms. The girl technically lived on the upper floor with her parents and brothers, but she spent much of her time on the first floor with her Aunt Elia, a colorful storyteller who loved children so much the family called her “the Mexican Mary Poppins.”
