In Hatch Chile Willie, author Rachel Bate transports readers to a warm summer night in New Mexico, where Farmer Pablo, nestled in his greenhouse among his specialty New Mexico Chiles, encounters an extraordinary phenomenon. As he dozes off in his rocking chair, he is startled awake by the enchanting sounds of Spanish music. To his amazement, the source of this music is none other than a half-red, half-green chile strumming a guitar. This whimsical character introduces himself as Hatch Chile Willie, a chile pepper with a passion for music and dance.
