About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration over changes in their environment or a sense of powerlessness against big, impersonal forces. Whether it is a new construction project blocking their favorite view or a shift in their neighborhood dynamic, this story provides a framework for understanding how collective action can mitigate even the most looming problems. The story centers on a community that wakes up to find an enormous, view-blocking wall erected in their midst. It explores themes of resilience, architectural impact, and the power of creative problem-solving. This is an ideal choice for children ages 5 to 10 who are developing an awareness of civic life and the environment, offering a hopeful message that even when a situation seems permanent or unfair, people can work together to find a bright side.
