Apt. 3 by Ezra Jack Keats

Symbolism lures you into the story as you learn how races can come together. This books shows that just because one race appears to think itself superior to another race, individuals in that race don't all think the same way.

Two boys hear a noise in their apartment and travel through their building to try and locate the source. When they discover where the noise is coming from they find out it is an old, blind man playing the harmonica. At first the boys think the man is just nosey, but instead they find out he knows what is going on in the world.

This book demonstrates how races can come together if they forget their differences. Find out how the boys and the blind man accomplish this by reading Apt. 3 !!
