Susan (suzalit) | 5 comments Perhaps Lois Lowry (but can't find this on any of her author pages) - published maybe 1990s, a king is searching for the most beautiful thing in his kingdom, sends a messenger around to all four corners of the kingdom, they argue about what is most beautiful... turns out it's water. I read this with my middle school reading group about 20 years ago, would like to find it again.

Rosa (rosaiglarsh) | 5384 comments You're very welcome, I'm glad you came back! Did you find it before now?
If you enjoyed this book (and I have to reread it), I'd like to recommend The Scarecrow and His Servant.

Susan (suzalit) | 5 comments I had only recently figured it out - don't remember how. And I'd completely forgotten that I'd posted here. But thank you so much for your help and for the recommendation. I'll definitely check it out.
