A child who joined USA&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Aid Society after WWII devastated parts of Europe sends a bar of soap, a pair of socks, and a bar of chocolate to a child in a small town in Holland. As the needs of these townspeople become known to the Indiana town, the generosity blossoms, as does the Dutch child and her community. How can a poor town repay such kindness? They do so in a clever way. The author&#8217;s mother is the little girl from Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>This title is available at Tyler Free Library.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20231229_141851058_PORTRAIT-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12318\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One well-meaning child benefits an entire town in a foreign country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15988,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_recurring":false,"_piecal_recurring_interval":1,"_piecal_recurring_frequency":"","_piecal_recurring_exact_position":false,"_piecal_recurring_end":"","_piecal_color":"","_piecal_text_color":"","_piecal_global_color_master":false,"_piecal_rsets":"[]","_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[17,19,34],"class_list":["post-12317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-recs","tag-cathy-recs","tag-childrens","tag-nonfiction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12317\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
