I ran across this inspiring true story for children while attending a writers conference.

Manjhi lives in a poor village where the children have a very long walk to school. Families have a long walk to see a doctor, go to the hospital, or shop at the markets.

The village on the other side of the mountain has nice houses, markets, and a hospital.

It didn’t seem fair to Manjhi. If only the two villages were closer together, the families in the poor village would be able to send their children to school.

Then Manjhi has an idea.

This is a delightful and inspiring book for children 6-12.
