Carrasco may be on to something big, but he says the real reward was the look on his daughters’ faces when they saw the first fruits of their labours. “They were simply amazed,” he says. And given the magical ending, he has decided to turn the experience into a more literal fairy tale. Carrasco is putting the finishing touches on a children’s book about “an enchanted tree,” which he hopes to publish soon.
Ross is a Chilean-Canadian freelance journalist based in Santiago.
