This new addition to the Little Lights series tells the story of how Gladys Aylward was called by God to go to China as a missionary. As a girl she had always hated being so short and wanted to be taller. She also really wanted to have blonde hair, feeling she would be so much prettier that way.

But God had other, amazing plans! Because once she gets to China, Gladys discovers that everyone there has dark hair and they are short and not tall! So she fits right in! Her missionary work is simply described and her escape from the Japanese army, leading many orphan children over the mountains to safety. Told simply for younger children.
