Description
A king and his servant learn about the benefits of diversity and the damage that barriers can do in this colorful tale. In this moving and valuable story, a king banishes anyone who looks different than him and builds a wall to keep them away. His kingdom was once flourishing with singers and sculptors, dancers and astronomers, and everyone in between. Now, most of the people are gone. Once he sees how lonely his side of the wall has become, he realizes where he went wrong and gains a new appreciation for his diverse and talented kingdom. With a visually engaging style that makes a complex lesson simple, this story shows children how a community can be harmed when barriers are built and how it thrives when people come together. “The Wall shows in brilliant color just how vibrant your life can be when you break down barriers and work toward inclusion, which is a wonderful message for readers of any age.” —Katherine Kleffner, blogger, The Nerdy Girl Express “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 “Macri and Zanotti . . . make it clear that shutting people out only weakens a kingdom, and they do it with laughter, not argument.” —Publishers Weekly This is a fixed-format ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book
