HAVING TROUBLE CLIMBING THE WALL?

Jill longs to make a home in the marvelous city of Adventus, where days are rich and life is sublime for the best and brightest people. But when her great journey concludes at the city walls, she finds that gaining entrance is not as easy as she’d hoped. Will they let her in, after all?

Adults and children alike will enjoy this light-hearted picture storybook about self-perception and elusive dreams.

“A message without being obvious, this story is something I will enjoy reading to my son for many years to come.

“The illustrations are ideal for younger readers while the story line and not-so-hidden lesson is relevant for all ages. Our urge to fit in and adapt to others expectations never really goes away until we realize who we really are. Jill is someone we can all relate to in the desire to experience the greener grass and more ideal friendships but in her struggle to make herself fit in she realizes so much more.

“A great read for boys and girls, this author reminded me a little of Dr Seuss in her whimsical methods but with a much more meaningful storyline (and all actual words).” – Sarah Butland
