Oye, Muro (Hey, Wall) Summary

Oye, Muro (Hey, Wall): Un cuento de arte y comunidad by Susan Verde

Un nino crea un proyecto de arte comunitario para embellecer su vecindario en este bello e inspirador libro de Susan Verde que ha sido hermosamente ilustrado por el galardonado artista John Parra.

Un nino creativo.
Un muro vacio y abandonado.
Una GRAN idea.

Hay un muro en el vecindario de Angel. A su alrededor, la comunidad es un bullicio de vida: musica, baile, risa. El muro, no. Es lugubre. Un nino decide cambiar eso. Pero no lo puede hacer solo.

Narrado en la prosa elegante de Susan Verde e ilustrado con los tonos vibrantes de John Parra, este formidable libro celebra el poder del arte y su capacidad de contar historias y de unir a las comunidades.
