Li Lun, Lad Of Courage by Carolyn Treffinger
Lad of Courage
A timid boy in a Chinese fishing village, terrified of the sea and shaming his fisherman father, is sent alone up a mountain with a handful of rice grains to prove his worth by doing the impossible: grow a harvest where none should thrive. Battling weather, pests, hunger, and loneliness, he learns patience, ingenuity, and resilience, slowly coaxing life from rocky terraces. When he returns with his hard-earned crop, he redeems his family’s honor and discovers the quiet courage to face the challenges that once paralyzed him.
