Hope Springs by Eric Walters
A drought has settled in the area around the orphanage where Boniface lives. There are long lines at the tiny spring where people get their water, and suddenly, the orphans are pushed to the back of the line. Boniface's houseparent, Henry, tells him that the people were mean out of fear - they feared there would not be enough water for their families. When the building of the orphanage's well is completed, Boniface has an idea to help the villagers. A lovely story of kindness and heart, showing that through compassion, true generosity can spring up.Eric Walters, a Member of the Order of Canada, began writing in 1993 as a way to pique the interest of his fifth-grade children in reading and writing. Since then, he has released over a hundred novels and picture books. He is a relentless speaker who speaks to over 100,000 youngsters in schools around the country each year. He currently resides in Guelph, Ontario. Visit www.ericwalters.net for additional information.
