This book tells the story of a harmonious family, in a village in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. This book was the second of four books in the 'series of mamak's children', but this book was first published. *mamak = mother
After reading the book "Leaves Never Hate Wind", I was interested to read other books of Tere Liye. And I went to the bookstore. Actually, I accidentally saw this book (Burlian). At that time I only saw the cover, the color is sky blue, which is my favorite color, after I took this book and read the synopsis, I was interested. I have always been interested in the book that tells about a boy with all his behavior. Naturally I am motivated by it and I also feel compelled to like it.
Finally I decided to buy this book. Burlian was the third child of four children. By parents, family and neighbors in his village, he earned the nickname "special child" because she was always curious, always asking questions, nosy, mischievous and cunning.
Besides telling a struggling Burlian with "special children", in which we will get a lot of knowledge about indigenous villagers. How policy Burlian's ancestral village with the 'ban river' that can protect the habitat of deer. With policies ancestral village, the residents just take enough fish in the river, bird hunting as needed, not to cut the cane at will in order to maintain the balance of nature, so that the forest is maintained.
In addition, the book also reminds us of the love of a mother. Told, how to Mamak protect Burlian of raging bees that cause she had to sleep on her stomach for weeks, willing to pawn her marriage ring, in order to fulfill the promise to buy a bike for Burlian until finally the ring is lost in the pawnshop.
Also the story of Burlian's friends whose hand was burnt for studying, Mr. Bin, Burlian's teacher for 25 years of teaching but had not yet appointed a civil servant, Burlian's school building that collapsed and killed two Burlian's friends, until the introduction Burlian with Nakamura-San. Who Nakamura-San? What is the purpose of given the nickname 'special child' to Burlian? It would be wonderful if you read this entire book.
