The Red Fence
Written by Ed Damiano; Illustrated by Jen Polk

In a town where being the same is the name of the game, a new family challenges the norm by daring to bring some color to their yard. While others start to question the value of sticking to the norm, the newcomers stick to their resolve and show kindness to their neighbors in the midst of rising tensions. Can the citizens of Vanderloo learn to accept differences?

In a rhyming, Suess-esque style, Ed Damiano cleverly weaves together messages of acceptance and community within a lyrical, entertaining story. The colorful cast of characters and fantastical city set the stage for this creative story that touches upon many modern day issues.
