Over 150 years ago, in a country known for their windmills and tulips, there lived a quiet, strange boy.

He did not have many friends and even his two brothers and three sisters thought of him as an "odd duck".

He had a bad temper that would come out in bursts of rage. He had a hard time fitting in with others and making friends.

Yet this little Dutch boy's unique view of his world would forever change how we saw it too.
