Did you know today is supposed to be the peak of cherry blossom season? . . I am going to admit something and I hope you understand. . . I usually don't pick picture books that are wordy. Does anyone else do this? Maybe this goes back to my teacher days and if there is too much text young kids loose interest. . . Maybe it's because I am a visual person and the pictures make me want to flip pages quickly to get to the end. . . Maybe I am just weird?! . . This books however, I really wanted to read. I love learning about our local history and living outside Washington, D.C. one can't help but get into the season. . . .

An oldie but such a goodie!!! . . I used to read this book to my boys and we had such a good time with the simple yet rich text. . . How do some author's do that? They don't write much, but what they do write packs a punch. I'd love to know if you feel the same about this book. Let me know. . .

Have you read this book? . . This book was on hold...forever...at my library. When I read it I was so pleasantly surprised by the cute plot. I really thought it would be about "the wall". And while it is about a wall it is more about kindness, preconceived notions, and over coming prejudice and fears. Heartwarming is a great way to describe this very simple story. . .
