EL LADRÓN DE SONRISAS
On grey days Adri makes his way through the city with a big sack. There's something mysterious about him and he seems to be searching for something. Who is Adri? What is he searching for? Adri is a young man who, using a wide variety of tricks, tries to make everyone he meets on his travels smile. Each smile won becomes his greatest achievement. Who doesn't know somebody who always tries to make others happy? Adri, is an almost 'magic' character, a little imp who uses a range of tools to makes smiles appear on the faces of sad people, until he meets someone who makes it very difficult. A special picture book which teaches us about the value of friendship and about those people whose presence alone makes everyone around them happy. A poetic story full of lovely metaphors, because we all have an Adri in our lives.
