The Wall

Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain
Dec 15, 2014LarryFriend rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This was a surprise hit for us--this Peter Sis book fascinates in the way that only a first hand account can. His memories of a childhood in Czechoslovakia are gripping, and his unique illustrations are memorable. Highly recommend this book! I stumbled across this author and now seek out his work. This book makes us all appreciate the freedom of artistic expression and not take it for granted; my kids were fascinated by the idea that Sis was told what he could draw as a child at school. The Prague Spring is beautifully illustrated. SIs is unique and very talented.
