Overview

Balzo accompanies his mother to a store where children cannot touch anything. To avoid boredom, he pretends to be a caterpillar and accidentally bumps his head and makes a mess. Neither his mother nor the shopkeeper notice the bump but instead give Balzo a hard time because of the mess he has made. Imaginative and charming, this story illustrates the importance of forgiving children's mishaps.

Reviews

And to kick off our first children's book club submission, we have found a phenomenal new book. . . . This story has a darling way of reminding us about looking at situations with our children from a different perspective. --www.ItsAllGoodBooks.com (November 2011)

This original story written by Mar Pavon is superbly illustrated by Sonja Wimmer with more intense colors differentiating when the images are imagined or real, brighter when Balzo fantasizes and more subdued when they are real. -Boolino.es
