About the book

Walls are everywhere in our world.  Some walls surround animals and crops on farms to keep them from harm, some are for sports to bounce balls off of and some walls hold up houses and other buildings. 

Walls are very important and have many uses.  Some protect, some include and some exclude.  The book categorizes walls into social, border, political, emotional, big, old, and small walls.  Each page has an adorable little mouse imbedded in it.  He observes each particular wall that the narrator is describing to the reader.

The illustrations are quirky, colourful and minamalistic.  "Walls" is written in rhyme and at times the rhyming is awkward.  The book can be used as a catalyst to open up dialogue about walls and offers a pathway to express to children the family values concerning the topic.
