This small-format short biography on Hudson Taylor narrates his journey to becoming a missionary in China. Although marketed to younger readers, a better plan may be for younger readers to study with a parent or teacher. For each page spread, one page has short, easy-to-read text and a large illustration, but the opposite pages have quite big blocks of text that would likely be difficult for a beginning reader. A parent may choose to read the long section and then let the child try the shorter section. Colorful illustrations abound throughout. 24 pgs, pb.
