Sometimes a wall...
by Dianne White
An afternoon in the playground introduces different kinds of walls: a brick wall to draw on with chalk, a water wall, and a climbing wall. What follows is a playful yet profound exploration of the many ways walls can divide us or bring us together. Whenone child is excluded from a game, another builds a castle to leave him out. When the builder declares the castle MINE, other kids feel alienated-but the builder becomes lonely, too, when the others have fun without him. The book ends with the optimism of a new start: friendship, forgiveness, and imagination give the wall new meaning.
