Wheel on the School
Meindert Dejong (1954), 312 pages
Illustrated by Maurice Sendak
Audience: 4th Grade - 6th Grade
The schoolchildren in the Dutch fishing village of Shora wonder why storks no longer nest there. They work together to place a wagon wheel on the school roof so the birds will have a safe place to build nests, and in the process, the whole village comes together in a new way. This gentle story is a bit slow to get started, but as it progresses, life in a small fishing village comes alive.
