"This story of urban renewal sends a welcome double message
by Verde: neighbors and neighborhoods are more than the way they
look, and ordinary people can band together to transform big things."
--Publishers Weekly
A boy takes on a
community art project in order to make his neighborhood more
beautiful in this empowering and inspiring picture book by Susan
Verde, stunningly illustrated by award-winning artist John Parra.
One creative boy.
One bare, abandoned
wall.
One BIG idea.
There is a wall in
Ángel's neighborhood. Around it, the community bustles with life:
music, dancing, laughing. Not the wall. It is bleak. One boy decides
to change that. But he can't do it alone.
Told in elegant
verse by Susan Verde and vibrantly illustrated by John Parra, this
inspiring picture book celebrates the power of art to tell a story
and bring a community together.
