The Wall Worksheets

by Eve Bunting

Lexile AD520L · ATOS 2.4

A boy and his dad have come a long way to find his grandpa's name on the black, shiny wall that holds the names of those killed in a war long ago. As they walk slowly, searching, the boy sees a man in a wheelchair who smiles at him, and little flags, letters, an old teddy bear and a droopy rose left against the wall. A gentle story for Veterans Day and Memorial Day about loss, remembering and honor.
