The String Thing
A book about teamwork, kindness and helping others for all ages by author David L. Burrier
In this delightful and lively story, the adults and children of the Kingdom of Niceria, both royal and common, struggle to accomplish the rescue of someone who’s fallen down a deep, dark well. Thanks to a wise king and a special gift he gives to every child in the kingdom, and to three children who step forward in courage, a profound idea is born.
You may well ask, “How can a story about string become a legend?” See how a simple ball of string became a symbol of the power of cooperation and collaboration for an entire kingdom. This children’s book has a profound adult cross-over message for any group or organization that seeks to create and inspire synergy within their team by emphasizing the valuable contribution of all its members resulting in the “whole becoming stronger than the sum of its parts.”
Explore The Kingdom of Niceria to learn more about the land, it’s remarkable inhabitants and the story of The String Thing!
