I recently got a review copy of the book The Wall: A Timeless Tale.I enjoyed the chance to review this book. The book reminds me of those thumbprint drawings that I think are so cute. The king who throws out everyone who doesn't look like him learns his lesson in a non-confrontational way. The physical wall in the middle of the book is an imaginative way to really drive the lesson home. Overall, this was a fun book and is a great way to introduce kids to the importance of diversity from an early age. It obviously simplifies things greatly (not every little purple dot is good at the same thing, for example), but kids are going to get the point - that discounting someone just because they don't look like us actually causes us to miss out on great things too.
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.
