The children of Kondima's village were gathering mushrooms when Mookit shouted, "Let's play monkey!" It was one of their favourite 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.
