There, they encounter a series of fantastical characters and wild adventures as they seek the elusive El Oz to help them return to their home. David Damian grew up working in the fields in Buckeye and Yuma, Arizona – the birthplace of Cesar Chavez. His two official hometowns and his family provided the inspiration for “El Oz.”

As a child, his mother taught him the art of positivity through traditional Mexican regional songs, storytelling, and dichos (sayings) to help pass the time during long hot days in the agricultural fields and when they cleaned houses together.
