Mum, Dad and primary school aged, Jacob, live happily and simply with their cat, Marley, somewhere in Australia. When new neighbours move in next door, although they have the identical family set up (but no cat), their perceived differences passively prevent there being any contact between the families. Only Marley doesn't notice this big wall feeling and moves happily between the families until the night of the big storm… Told through the adventures of two primary school aged boys and a cat called Marley, this beautifully illustrated picture book tackles Australia's very real issues with intercultural acceptance. Ali, Jacob and Marley's story shows how simple it is to embrace cultural diversity and value individual difference.
