MARGY BURNS KNIGHT received the National Education Association’s Author-Illustrator Human & Civil Rights Award for her work with Anne Sibley O’Brien and the Children’s Africana Book Award for Africa Is Not a Country. She is the author of Talking Walls, which has sold more than 200,000 copies. She writes a blog, “Discover Your World,” and is a Service Learning Coordinator, an English teacher, and a Peace Corps veteran.
ANNE SIBLEY O’BRIEN has illustrated 31 books, including Talking Walls, and is the author and illustrator of the picture book I’m New Here and the graphic novel The Legend of Hong Kil Dong. Annie’s passion for multiracial, multicultural, and global subjects grew out of her experience of being raised bilingual and bicultural in South Korea as the daughter of medical missionaries. She writes the column “The Illustrator’s Perspective” for the Bulletin of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and a blog, “Coloring Between the Lines.” The mother of two grown children, she lives with her husband on an island in Maine.
A delightful exploration of cultures, these two volumes tell the stories of walls from all over the world. The author delivers the stories in a slow, deliberate manner, giving the listener, young or old, the chance to absorb the wealth of fascinating information offered here. Each story is introduced with sounds or songs native to that particular corner of the earth. The production is given still more color and flavor with the addition of poetry readings by a number of poets at the opening and closing of each book. All of these elements combine to make the single-cassette recording one that can be well-appreciated by children and adults alike. J.J.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
