Wall by Tom Cole - OPTIONAL

Cole, Tom Clohosy Wall.  PICTURE BOOK.  Templar Books (Candlewick), 2014.  $17.  

A boy and his mother are stuck on the east side of the Berlin wall, while the father is stuck on the west side.  After trying to survive for awhile, the boy decides it is time for them to escape - hopefully before their father executes the same idea.   This is another of the books where I am not sure who the audience actually is.  Not elementary students - I would be surprised to find out that they learn about the Berlin Wall at that age.  It might be a short introduction to the Wall for high school students, but not many teachers use picture books at that level.  It might be worth a try.  

HS - OPTIONAL.
