Booklist - 02/01/2016 Luis is bereft because his older brother, Nico, is leaving with the army in order to see the world. Luis takes his sorrow to the walls of his house, painting his feelings and the special places where he and Nico made memories. His murals are as brilliant as the illustrations in the book—vivid, bold, and expressive. As time passes, Luis covers the wall in the alley with images from the letters and pictures Nico sends from far away. In the spirit of close communities, friends and neighbors join the painting, adding their own feelings to the wall in the alleyway. Spanish words and phrases are incorporated into the book’s text, subtly drawing upon Luis’ heritage. This story is inspired by an art program in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a town of residents from all over the world, who share their stories and traditions through mural art. Its beautiful message will touch the hearts of readers and maybe inspire them to create art of their own. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
