Molito is a children’s book about a little mole who loves to play his drum for his friends in the underground park. One day Carlota the ant tells him about a place called the upperworld. Molito decides to go and see for himself. After a series of misadventures, including a ride on the subway, Molito crawls out of the earth and discovers that the upperworld is a magic place full of diamonds in the night sky and trees that dance in the wind. Yet he’s lost in the city until he finds a friend, Violeta, who takes him to the market to meet her friends. When Molito plays his drum, they tell him that he plays the sound of the earth’s heart beating. Discovering that the underworld is simply the inverse of his world, Molito builds a tunnel to connect both worlds.
