Gimme the Ax takes his two children, Please Gimme and Ax Me No Questions, to the whimsical-but-not-magical Rootabaga Country to learn more about the mother they never knew. In the process, they learn that families come in all shapes and sizes. Adapted from the book Rootabaga Stories by Carl Sandburg. In this aria, Gimme the Ax assures the children that their mother, though not physically present, is always with them in spirit through the unexpected twists and turns of life.
