Under the Tamarind Tree

Paperback.
By Mary Weeks Millard

For ages 8 to 11 / 128 pages

This book is the third in the Rwanda series, following on from I Want to Be an Airline Pilot and Living in Hope. (You don’t have to read the others to enjoy this story.)

This book is great for:

• Family reading
• Children who love adventure stories set in exotic places
• Missionary children
• Children who have to make a big change in their life over which they have no control

This book also makes a lovely class reader.

Joshua has to leave England for Rwanda: Timo has to leave his comfortable home in the city for the bush. Neither boy wants to move to Shema’s village, but soon make friends with each other and the local children, and badly want their doctor dads to help Imani, who can’t walk. They need a miracle!

This book touches on themes of God knowing best, friendship, caring for each other, answered prayer, and racial harmony. Plus there’s buried treasure, and Joshua gets to go to The Village of the Dead Snake!

Don’t let the children you love miss out on this fun story. Jesus said Let the children come to me. Giving yours a book like this is doing exactly that.
