A.B. Racicot’s delightful story was inspired by the author’s own childhood, when his mother decorated his bedroom with brightly patterned wallpaper. He spent countless nights weaving the images into elaborate stories, an exercise that polished his imagination so brightly that he’s sharing the experience with a new generation of youngsters via his enchanting new book. In Magical Walls, a little boy named Mike is bored by the bare walls of his room. To perk things up, his mom decides to decorate, digging through bins at the wallpaper store to find just the right paper for her son. After much cutting and gluing, Mike’s room is transformed into a vibrant adventure realm, his walls populated by cowboys and Indians, football players, baseball players, pirates, sailors, circus clowns, even a marching band! They all come to life at night, entertaining Mike for hours as he devises stories and adventures for them. Over time, of course, Mike outgrows his special room…but he brings his own children to visit, allowing them to enjoy the magical experience for themselves. The exploits of Mike’s wallpaper friends are vibrantly illustrated by Azul Almazan and John Palamidy, whose colorful and boisterous renderings are the perfect match for Mike’s vivid imagination. In Magical Walls, A. B. Racicot has set a precedent for all children to explore the farthest corners of their imaginations!
