One morning at school, Lina, the only school age girl resident in the Holland village Shora, reads aloud a story in which she ponders why storks do not build nests in their village. Her teacher utilizes her curiosity by orchestrating an problem solving quest. He gives the students the rest of the day off and encourages them to wonder why storks do not come to build nests in their village.
This refreshing story, which centers on the children and their determination to problem solve, gives the reader a glimpse in a Dutch fishing village and also reveals how one little wonderment can unify an entire village.
I liked how various individuals who were ostracized because of age, gender, appearance and disabilities found their place and value once again. This book reinforces the fact that friendships and relationships are awaiting us if we change our perspective.
A wonderful story full of excitement!
*Highly recommend.
