Allow me to introduce: Gaylord, an early riser and heartbreaker. The eight-year-old Gaylord has his eyes and ears everywhere, especially where they don't belong. Early in the morning, he hops from bed to bed, wanting to delight his family with his homemade herbal mush tea. However, the family dynamics are already quite strained: the father has been banished from the parental bedroom, Great-Aunt Marigold is stuck somewhere in the pre-war era, and Aunt Becky is stealing her own sister's lover. With plenty of wit and imagination, Gaylord observes the world around him and sticks his nose into other people's affairs until everything is back in order.
