Riassunto

A boy wishes he were a bird so he could fly back to his beautiful house, on the other side of the wall. He is trying to understand why his family and their neighbours were forced to leave their nice colourful homes and live in unfinished grey cement houses surrounded by a wall. Will they ever be able to return to their lovely homes? A highly powerful book on the situation in the occupied territories from an innocent little boy's point of view.
