Our Little Mexican Cousin by Edward Crompton Butler audiobook.

Genre: family

Edward Crompton Butler’s Our Little Mexican Cousin is a warm, old-fashioned portrait of childhood abroad that invites listeners into the daily life, festivals and family circle of a young Mexican child. Told with affectionate detail and a gentle, observant voice, the book follows simple scenes — sunlit kitchens, bustling mercados, schoolroom chatter, neighborhood games and the bright pageantry of local celebrations — that together create a vivid, human picture of a different culture. Butler’s vignettes highlight the smells, sounds and small adventures of growing up: the taste of homestyle food, the rattle of street vendors, the music and color of fiestas, and the steady bonds of kin and community that shape a child’s world. Educational without ever feeling preachy, this classic offers listeners both curiosity and comfort, making distant customs accessible through one child’s point of view. Perfect for family listening, classroom enrichment, or anyone who delights in gentle cultural travel, the audiobook brings these charming scenes to life and encourages empathy, wonder and a love of discovery.
