Summary
Un niño crea un proyecto de arte comunitario para embellecer su vecindario en este bello e inspirador libro de Susan Verde que ha sido hermosamente ilustrado por el galardonado artista John Parra.
Un niño creativo.
Un muro vacío y abandonado.
Una GRAN idea.
Hay un muro en el vecindario de Ángel. A su alrededor, la comunidad es un bullicio de vida: música, baile, risa. El muro, no. Es lúgubre. Un niño decide cambiar eso. Pero no lo puede hacer solo.
Narrado en la prosa elegante de Susan Verde e ilustrado con los tonos vibrantes de John Parra, este formidable libro celebra el poder del arte y su capacidad de contar historias y de unir a las comunidades.
