BOOK PRESENTATION
With Agathi Prodromou


DESCRIPTION
All dinosaurs of the genus Photosaurus shoot flames from their mouths when they blow. All of them, except one. Lakis Kordelakis, the cute little dinosaur, would be the perfect name for him, because whenever he blows, instead of fire and smoke coming out of his mouth, colorful ribbons come out. But what happens when on his first day at school he learns that entry is strictly limited to dinosaurs that shoot fire? Lakis embarks on a magical journey through which he learns that with the power of will, friendship and mutual help, everything can change. In his endeavor, Lakis learns how important kindness, acceptance, equality and how unlikely it is to finally be yourself! Come meet Lakis Kordelakis and his friends and travel with them on a unique adventure, through an interactive narrative! Through music, dance and games, you will have the opportunity to see how Lakis and his friends finally understand that in an open-minded and open-hearted society everyone has a place! Children will have the opportunity to participate in the interactive narrative, play with balloons, dance and draw!
