• Told without words, Giuliano Ferri’s art is both adorable and simple, delivering its universal message in a way children of all ages can understand.

• This important concept about getting past the things that divide us in order to connect with each other has never more timely than now.

• A beautifully produced board book that you’ll want to keep long after the children have moved on to other kinds of books.

A little mouse innocently plucks a flower from an old wall when a brick comes loose, and he can see through it for the first time.
He and the other animals gradually and resolutely remove more and more bricks, until at last they can see another group of animals. Together they use he bricks that once divided them to construct a bridge to join their islands. This clever and touching wordless board book shows that walls can become bridges when everyone works together. It’s a hopeful message that all children should see now.
