The Wall is a picture book that documents what is what like to grow up in communist Czechoslovakia. No you might think that this is not the topic for a picture book, but let me tell you it works. Author/illustrator’s drawings of communist Czechoslovakia are in black and white, with the communist symbols of a red scarf and red flag were red. Contrasted to this are Peter’s childhood drawings that are in colour. Interspersed in the narrative are entries from Peter’s diaries and journals.
This is a very good book. It is easy to see why it was nominated for a Caldecott by the ALA.
