Writing honestly wasn't very good 😫

This is the story of young Hudson Taylor and what he does when his lunch is forgotten and he's not allowed to ask for it. But as he wonders when someone will notice his empty bowl, he hears his father talk about China and the people's need to know about the Lord. It was a simple meal that made a big change in the lives of many in China.

This book is the second in the Little Lights series but each book stands alone. This is a great way to introduce the life of Hudson Taylor to your young children.

I enjoy the way that this book lets the children learn about this man of faith as he was as a child. The story is simple, yet very clearly portrays the importance of a life sold out for God even at a young age. The pictures help the words come to life for young ears.
