A
Mexican American boy transforms an ugly crack on the wall into something magical
for his mother and lifts her spirits.
Carlos and his
mother have just moved into a small, dusty apartment. Mama is worried; she wants
to get a new job and find Carlos a better place to live. But what really worries
Carlos is a long black crack that seems to crawl down from one wall. Whenever
headlights of a passing car light up the wall at night, Carlos is frightened.
With love and imagination, Carlos transforms the ugly crack into something
beautiful for his mother and lifts her spirits. A CRACK IN THE WALL is a modern
fairy tale, full of spirit and wonder. It is a celebration of hope to be shared
for all seasons.
"Beautiful." –THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Quietly telling . . . . Warmly telling story." –KIRKUS REVIEWS
"The warm undertones to the soft watercolor paintings by Rubén De Anda convey a feeling of love and security as Carlos and his mother celebrate their hope for a better life." –THE READING TEACHER
"[A] celebration of giving and the love shared between mother and son." –SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
