Finalist at the 2011 International Latino Book Awards. Balzo, a very
restless boy, goes shopping with his mom and accidentally breaks some
figurines. There is no reason to be angry ... couldn't it happen to
anyone?
Balzo goes shopping with his mother and they stop by a store where boys
and girls can't touch anything. To stop himself from getting bored, he
pretends to be a silkworm. But while he's playing, he accidentally
knocks some figurines off a shelf, and worst of all, he bumps his head.
Neither his mother nor the storekeeper seem to notice the lump; instead,
they tell off Balzo as if he'd smashed the figurines (and caused the
lump) on purpose....
On purpose?
He was just playing around with his imaginary friends! Unfortunately, no
one is interested in knowing his part of the story... And mom is so
angry she sounds like an ogre!
Once they get home, Balzo goes straight to bed when suddenly he hears
this powerful sound: «CRASH!». Could it happen to anyone?
