Wycliffe did a very nice job putting this book together. It gave us a view of the world we don’t usually hear about. The author wrote well, the artwork is attractive, and my children’s worldviews were properly expanded through it all.
We also loved the many interesting facts they include within each “letter.” (The book works through the alphabet—each letter corresponding to a language. For example, “U” is for Udmurt, “N” is for Nadëb, “B” is for Bwisi.)
Overall, this is a lovely book to have in our home library. I hope we never lose our gratitude for modern books and modes to communicate gospel needs like this! 🙏🏼
