Hans Brinker: The Silver Skates is the story of a poor brother and sister in long-ago Holland—the beautiful land of windmills, tulips, and wooden shoes. Here, Hans and his sister Gretel experience championship skating, hunger, family hardship, and countless adventures.
Through trials and moments of great joy, Hans and Gretel show how faith in Christ and loving sacrifice can heal families more than any amount of riches.
