Sometimes a Wall...

This book is suitable for preschool and up. It is a good introduction for the basics of what is a wall, and also the deeper meaning of the reasons for walls and their effects on a population. Upper elementary children can use it for discusssions on current political climates and bullying, as well. The illustrations are darling and colorful, the text is simplistic. I would add this to my classroom library and curriculum.

Sometimes a Wall takes place on a playground where the children have different walls to experience. They learn that walls can bring us together or keep us apart. Walls can bring out feelings of community or feelings of isolation.

The simple text will keep younger children engaged with its rhyming words. School age students will be use the text and illustrations to use their retelling skills, improving narrative, inferencing, and description skills along the way.

Thank you to OwlKids Books and NetGalley for the electronic ARC for review.

Sometimes a Wall is a simply written picture book with a strong message. I love using books in my story times that start a conversation. Sometimes I need to prompt my K-1st grade students. I won't have to guide this discussion. My students have a lot to say about being blocked and trying new ways to solve a problem.

This was a cute book about walls and how they can make others feel. The illustrations were simple but beautiful, and the sentences were short and easy to read. This would be a good way to teach children about being inclusive.

This book teaches a great lesson in a way that I feel like children will be able to relate to. I love the illustrations, and know that my students will, too!

I loved this book! Such a simplistic way of getting children to think about the damage a wall can do, while also showing that a wall can do good. I would definitely use in my classroom.

I love how a wall can be many different things. Walls bring us together or keep us apart, and there are so many different walls. The illustrations in this book were really great and I loved every page.
