Francisco is a boy who prefers villains to heroes. Witches to princesses. At school or at home, Francisco unsettles everyone, but behind his rebelliousness lies something that only he can see and that others do not understand. This is a story about seeing—and loving—beyond the obvious. Embracing difference and discovering that there is light even in the darkest shadows. A book for children (and adults!) who look at the world with curiosity and value what is unique in each of us. The narrative is accompanied by illustrations that use color and abstract shapes to reflect Francisco's emotions and the transformation of the adults' gaze throughout the story. Engaging and full of emotion, «The boy who liked villains» teaches us to listen to what is not said and to accept what is different.
