Written by Meindert DeJong, Illustrated by Maurice Sendak
Why do 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 to Shora. They had to overcome many obstacles, including the fierce and threatening sea. 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.
