Downtown Doors

Join a Mother and Son on a Journey Through Their City’s Downtown in This Picture Book That Celebrates Strong Communities—the Love They Give Us, and What We Can Give Back in Return

When Wendall and Mama take their weekly downtown walk, he always pays attention to the doors they pass.

Wood doors. Glass doors. Metal doors. Doors that spill yummy smells into the street. Doors up top. Doors down below. There are doors of all shapes and sizes.

As they later make their way back home, Wendall can’t help but think about all the people behind each door. They all open their hearts and make him feel loved and at home. Could he be an open door to people in his community too?

With stunning and evocative artwork, Downtown Doors is a heartwarming layered tale that highlights the importance and beauty of community when navigating life’s challenges and caring for our neighbors.
