As an infant in Mexico in 1942, he not only remembers sensations, sounds, and colors but also how his mother would speak to him and how he would manipulate her from his crib. In this honest portrait of a life through the eyes and mind of an infant, toddler, and child, we glimpse mental calisthenics that are distorted from a lack of experience, as well as surprisingly astute and sophisticated analyses from someone so young.

In his memoir, James J. Valencia recounts his earliest memories. Unlike most, though, his narrative doesn't begin when he's six or seven but ends there. As an infant in Mexico in 1942, he not only remembers sensations, sounds, and colors but also how his mother would speak to him and how he would manipulate her from his crib. In this honest portrait of a life through the eyes and mind of an infant, toddler, and child, we glimpse mental calisthenics that are distorted from a lack of experience, as well as surprisingly astute and sophisticated analyses from someone so young. In Valencia's words, There is not a sudden blooming of intelligence, but it's cultivated with the brain, developed in the womb. How else would a helpless child survive their early years? And his early years are not filled with the sweetness we have come to expect in childhood. Along with young Jaime, we experience first disappointments, shame, and failure. Through his eyes, though, we also view wondrous constructions devised by man-trains, movies, and streetlamps. Here we are provided a rare perspective into a bygone era, when radio was a family's entertainment and an exorcism occured. Take a journey on this memoir and see the world as a child.
