Product Description:
Young Tia's feet were severely burned at a young age. Her family was too poor to call for a real doctor, so they tried herbal remedies and called a spirit doctor, but to no avail. Her feet and toes were damaged to the point that they were ugly and scarred. They caused her pain when she walked and made her the victim of other children's relentless teasing. Life seemed very dim and hopeless for little Tia, until farangs (foreigners) came to her village in Thailand. They spoke of a God called Prajow and all about what Prajow's son had done for them. Tia was excited when the farangs spoke of how Prajow was a God that could heal diseases. Could He help her? Simple ink and watercolor illustrations accompany the detailed text throughout this thirty-one page, paperback book. Based on a true story, your children are sure to enjoy this book that shows God's power to not only take care of people's physical needs, but their spiritual needs as well. elise
