about the experiences of Nicholaas and his friends as they explore foreign cultures in Holland and Spain. Along their journey, they'll see fields of windmills, explore caves, play soccer and sail a yacht. More than just fun, they'll have excitement, mystery and occasionally magical adventures. They also learn a lesson about the difference between material and the more real treasures people can find in their hearts and through sharing. "My mother was the inspiration for these books," said Davis. "She said, 'Kids don't know enough about the world." Author Betty Davis said her goal in writing this book was to share foreign experiences with young readers and a vivid and tangible way that gives them a sense they were almost there themselves. She also wanted to share her love of reading with children.
