This book is one of those timeless classics that can be read over and over.  It's a beautifully written novel about a Dutch town who decide to bring back the storks.  We learned a valuable lesson with this book the first time we read it.  It was a hard book to get into it just didn't grab from the first page.  I was enjoying it but the children kept asking "Must we read this book Mom ?" I am so glad I pushed through and said yes.  It is one of those books that lay the foundation for the story in the first quarter of the book and after that it comes together and comes alive in your hands.  It is so worth the effort of reading it together.  It's beautifully written and informative with a touch of nostalgia.  I am looking forward to re-reading this book together with Sir N in a couple of months.

Description of the story
"Why did the storks no longer come to the little Dutch fishing village of Shora to nest? It was Lina, one of the six schoolchildren, who first asked the question, and she set the others to wondering. And sometimes when you begin to wonder, you begin to make things happen. So the children set out to bring the storks back. They had to overcome many obstacles, including the fierce and threatening sea. But they wouldn't give up - and soon their determination and their vision got the whole village working, until at last the dream began to come true. - Book Depository"
