Synopsis

The children of Kondima s village were gathering mushrooms when Mookit shouted, Let s play monkey! It was one of their favorite games. They jumped into the edge of the jungle, grabbed hold of the long vines that hung from the trees, and began to swing. But this time, Kondima s vine broke. She fell into the bushes and felt a sharp pain in her eye. A thorn stuck right in her eye! This beautifully illustrated picture book version of Jungle Thorn will show your child a glimpse of life in the jungle village. They will learn about missionaries, and most importantly, they will see that kindness and care can change lives and teach even a mountain girl about Jesus.

About the Author:

Norma Rhoads Youngberg was born in iowa and grew up in South Dakota. She comes from a family of teachers, missionaries, and writers. Her father, the late Bert Rhoads, taught school for fifty years and has written several books for children; her sister, Mildred R Bennett, is a recognized authority on Willa Cather.

In 1916 Norma Rhoads married Gustavus B Youngberg, a Protestant missionary, and she and their first child went with him to Malaya in 1919. The next years were spent in Singapore, British North Borneo, Sarawak, and Indonesia. They pioneered work among headhunters on the Tatau River of Sarawak. During twenty years of service they became parents of five other children, all of whom are now engaged in some form of Christian endeavor, either as doctors, nurses, or teachers. In 1940 the family returned to the United States.
