Here's a timely, hilarious picture book, with Seussian appeal! In
Bobville, everyone is named...yup, Bob...and everything is exactly the
same--until one Bob decides he'd like to be a Bruce.
Welcome to Bobville, home to people only named Bob! In Bobville, the
Bobs eat the same food, wear the same clothes, watch the same movies,
and have the same hobbies. They agree on everything-- ESPECIALLY that
they don't like anyone who isn't named Bob. The Bobs go about their Bob
ways, until one day, to the surprise of the entire city, one resident
decides he wants to do things a little differently, and live as Bruce.
In response, the Bobs build a wall to keep Bruce, and anyone else who
dares to be different, out of the city. But Bruce doesn't mind-- it
turns out the diverse world outside of Bobville is actually very
beautiful. In this timely picture book, bestselling author Jonah Winter
and acclaimed illustrator Bob Staake explore how exclusion and walls
breed intolerance, and how being different and open-minded enriches our
lives and the world.
