Synopsis

Wonderful things can be accomplished when people come together! That's the important lesson to be found inside The Wall:

• THE BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY: Helps children understand the societal benefits of diversity through a fun and moving story about a misguided king
• THE BARRIERS BETWEEN US: Illustrates the unintended consequences of the walls—figurative and literal—between people, and why we all need each other
• THE PERFECT BEDTIME STORY: Simple yet profound illustrations visually engage kids, for a beloved bedtime story with an important moral
• KIDS WILL WANT TO READ IT OVER AND OVER: The pop-up wall adds an exciting dimension, making for an even more interesting read and bringing kids back to the book again and again

In this poignant and timely story, a king banishes anyone who is different from him and has a wall built to keep them out of his kingdom.

Soon, he sees that without people with various types of talents and expertise, his realm can no longer flourish!

Realizing his mistake, he orders the wall to be knocked down so he can meet and thank all the talented people that make his community beautiful.

With engaging illustrations packed with fun thumbprint faces, a pop-up wall, and an important lesson about diversity that's relevant to the world today, The Wall will help children see how a society can be harmed when barriers are built, but thrive when everyone works together.

From the same authors of the popular children's books We Are All Dots and Mario and the Aliens, Giancarlo Macri and Carolina Zanotti provide more tender wisdom in The Wall, along with the colorful visual aid of illustrators Mauro Sacco and Elisa Vallarino.

"A clever ebb and flow of colors and shapes that will have young readers, as well as the king, quickly seeing the errors of exclusionary ways."
—Foreword Reviews

"The Wall: A Timeless Tale is a joyful celebration of diversity, bar none!
—Storywraps
