The stories of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo are set on the site of Dona Benta, an old lady who lives away from the rush and noise of the big city. She has the friendship of Tia Nastácia, who cooks delicacies for her and her granddaughter, Lúcia, better known as Narizinho. Living alone and with only the two elderly women as company (besides Rabicó, her pet), the girl lives playing with her doll Emília, made by Tia Nastácia with scraps of cloth scraps from her old skirt. The old Uncle Barnabé, who is responsible for the maintenance of the Site, also lives at the Site.
