Description:

JonArno Lawson and Piet Grobler are world-renowned creators of picture books, and it’s very exciting to see their talents come together in this new work.
JonArno Lawson has established himself as a master of alternative storytelling after the great commercial success of the wordless picture book Sidewalk Flowers, which was awarded four starred reviews in 2015.
The story is partially inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis, tapping into a literary and cultural touchstone.
Created entirely through dialogue, with two visual storylines, the book is ingenious and unusual.
Curriculum connections include language arts (oral communication, reading, media literacy), arts/drama (creating and presenting; reflecting, responding, analyzing; exploring forms and cultural contexts).
