Could It Happen to Anyone?

by Mar Pavon, Sonja Wimmer (Illustrator), Jon Brokenbrow (Translator)

Overview

Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards

Balzo goes with his mother to a store where boys and girls can’t touch anything. So, 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….

A children’s story that’s also for adults, as it tells how sometimes, when an accident happens in the home, we tell off our children without thinking, and if we cause the same situation, we immediately turn to the timeless phrase: “It could happen to anyone”.
