Meindert DeJong (1906-1991) was a Dutch-born American writer of children's books, and won the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1962 for his contributions as a children's writer. The Wheel on the School was first published in 1954, and tells the story of Lina, one of six school children in the small fishing village of Shora in Friesland. When she writes an essay for school that asks why there are no storks in their village, she sets all the others to wondering. Their teacher encourages the class to find out for themselves. The children set out to bring the storks back, but they have to overcome many obstacles.
