Adaeze Reads the Bible

Adaeze is a special girl in Nigeria with an important job: she reads the Bible aloud to her mother, who cannot afford glasses. Reading in Igbo, Adaeze learns to love Jesus Christ. When her family meets missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they learn even more about prophets, prayer, and faith. Sprinkled with Igbo words, this warm picture book follows Adaeze from a nervous young reader into a grown woman who serves a mission and shares her testimony.
