A fantasy adventure for kids from 8 to 92 So strongly do Sammy and Lindsay desire to live in a world of love and beauty that they fly to a new universe on a magic carpet to find it. And there's only one way to reach this new universe—the hard way!
"This is one of those rare, delightful, sensitive stories that keeps coming back to you over and over, hauntingly, accompanied by a deep yearning feeling: never have you wanted anything quite so much as to go through that cement wall. In a stroke of genius, the author has added a section at the end of the book that actually allows one to feel that this magical fantasy is a real possibility!"
A warm, very human children’s story for ages 8 to 92, or for reading to kids 3 to 7. The 24 full-page, full-color illustrations are exquisite—they simply radiate with life and spirit—the compassionate spirit of the story.
It’s about two 8-year-olds that are brother and sister who want something different from their unpleasant surroundings; they want it so badly that they fly through a 7th dimensional cement wall to get to this new world of love and beauty.
No other book has ever given children as much space and encouragement with their real true feelings.
