Product Review

Excellent story for 7-10 year olds

by cindy_lu , Jan 8, 2000

Pros: full of humanity, child bravery, culture ,history, wonderful information on storks

Cons: slow beginning; due to time period, some sexist ideas (women at home while men go to sea, girls can't do things boys can)

Overall Rating:

Author's Review

What a wonderful, little known discovery! A Newberry Award winner, this story captivated my seven year old so much that we read it through three times back-to-back, and she wanted to begin it all over again!

Rich in details of life long ago in the land of storks, canals and wooden shoes, the children in this story face perils and hardship in their quest to bring storks back to the rooftops of their village; you become totally
involved with each child's adventure. Each child's personality is engagingly and realistically distinct. A brave girl plays a key role.

As the story unfolds, there is a beautiful story-within-a-story of a lonely disabled man who by becoming involved in the children's quest, rediscovers his value, regains his pride, becoming whole..once again a full member of his community.

The teacher of the one room school imparts ideas that are simple but beautiful in their power and lights a spark in the children when he tells them "For sometimes when we wonder, we can make things begin to happen."

Slow to pull you in, this is one of those books that completely rewards you if you just stick with it.

Nearly lost to posterity, this book is a gem.
