For some reason we haven't really taught our kids about missionaries much. They are 6, 4, and 2. I saw this book and thought it would be really good to show them how people follow their faith and God's calling in courageous ways.

They were very engaged in the book, the pictures are colorful and interesting. They had a lot of questions. Although they were sad when they read that Helen died, it was a great opportunity to talk about God's faithfulness and sharing Jesus with others even at cost to ourselves.

I'm glad they included the photograph of Helen at the end to help them can connect that this was a true story and not a nice idea.

I look forward to continuing these conversations with them by reading other books in this series!

Definitely recommend this book for families!
