El sendero de lo inesperado

En una propiedad donde antes se alzaba una casa de salud mental, se construye Madness, un lugar para ir a bailar. Madness es distinto a todos los demás.

"Look out children, the Giant of Jum is grumpy and hungry and he's off in search of a tasty snack. And the tastiest of all is a boy known as Jack!

In exchange for his labor, the woman leaves him an unexpected gift. Simple yet moving, the story reflects on the value of generosity. The humorous cartoon-style illustrations give the characters expressive and emotional depth.
