Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When the town's old library is destroyed by a tornado, the people are left wondering: What should be done with the space where the library used to be? The builder wants a new skyscraper. The grocer wants a new parking lot. Nia wants a NEW library . . . but how can one person build a whole library? Readers of all ages will love this clever twist on the classic folktale Stone Soup - about the joy of books, the power of community, and the way even the biggest things can start with *almost* nothing at all.
When Littletown Library is destroyed by a tornado, it seems like book-loving Nia is the only one who cares; so she starts the "new free library" under the tree where she used to read, and writes out familiar stories and rhymes that are just a little bit wrong, and encourages the people who check them out to correct them--until soon the whole of Littletown is filled with people reading and writing books.
