The Garden Wall
The Garden Wall
By Phyllis Limbacher Tildes

Tim is unhappy about moving to the city and leaving his best friend. He has to attend a strange, new school, and to make things more difficult, his next-door neighbor is a girl who is deaf. How can he be friends with her? With warmth and wit, award-winning author and illustrator Phyllis Limbacher Tildes weaves a sensitive story that opens a window to the deaf experience. Young readers will discover that true communication begins with an open mind and heart. The Garden Wall was written in conjunction with Imagination Stage, Inc.
