Granny Han's Breakfast

by Sheila Groves

When Granny Han went to her cupboard one morning, her cupboard was bare! Granny prayed for her food anyway, and before she knew it, a large and wonderful breakfast appeared before her eyes.

Granny Han’s Breakfast is one of my all-time favorite stories. I was happy to have a chance this week to read it to my five-year-old. He loved it, too! Told in seven short chapters, it would be easy to read in one sitting, although I stretched it out over three days.

Reason for Reading: I love missionary stories, especially those that take place in China.

A truly beautiful story for young children about the power of God to provide and the redeeming grace in accepting Jesus as your saviour. A wonderful book that introduces one to Chinese foods and daily life as it tells a vignette from missionary Pauline Hamilton's life. The story is told in a lovely storytelling voice and is never preachy though it is decidedly Christian. Granny Han is a believer and she simply puts her trust in God, learning to practice what she preaches, when hard times hit. Her belief proves to be an example to someone, who takes some years to live according to their own free will, but eventually comes back to Granny with Jesus in their heart. Inspiring and simply a delightful little true tale that shows respect to every one.

A missionary story that just shares a story about theft and the trust granny Han had to trust for her daily provisions and for the money for a youth event.
