Atticus

Atticus is a difficult child. At least that's what his parents think. So when Atticus tries to explain that a gigantic snake has come out of his closet, his parents insist that everything is in his head and that he is too old to invent such nonsense. (And couldn't she please do her homework?) Even when the cobra swallows Atticus completely, her parents aren't convinced! (Where did you get that snake costume from? Could you please keep it?) What should poor Atticus do if his parents never hear him? Winking at the delightfully dark humor of Edward Gorey, Florence Parry Heide and Jon Klassen, Michael Sussman and Júlia Sardà identify with children around the world who must deal with difficult parents.
