This isn’t the
first kid’s book we’ve reviewed here, but it is the book aimed at the youngest
readers, being a picture story book aimed at fairly confident readers – though
it can obviously be read aloud.
I loved this book
– I loved the pictures (very important in a PSB) and I loved the expressiveness
of the text. Most of all, I really
enjoyed the story.
For those of you
who don’t know, Valerie Elliot Shepard is the author, and is the daughter of
Jim and Elisabeth Elliot – missionaries in Ecuador. Jim Elliot was killed bringing the gospel to
the Auca Indians, and later Elisabeth Elliot and Valerie (and Rachel Saint,
Nate Saint’s sister) went to live amongst this people group, bringing many of
them to Christ. This book is a recount
of her early life as a missionary child.
This is full of
beautiful lessons about God’s love, protection, and how He works, as evidenced
through the lives of Valerie/Pilipinto and her mother, along with lots of
child-orientated details about food and games and even school!
This is awonderful resource for anyone who is seeking to impact a child for missions and
Christ!
