This book tells the story of a somewhat clumsy tightrope walker who dunks all his circus companions. What will happen when the tightrope walker steps off the tightrope? A book full of humor and lightness to face problems. The highly expressive illustrations with simple lines by Mercè Galí give it a fresh and modern air.
