I loved this book. Eric Hare aka Dr Rabbit is a great storyteller. Dr Rabbit goes as a missionary to the Karen people in Burma. He meets Uncle and Aunt: Karen missionaries to their own people.Uncle is a great storyteller too and his wife is summoned to deliver babies and for medical emergencies. Aunt has no medical training but learns fast with 10 children. One lady has sores all over her body. Aunt cleans, puts ointment on and bandages her for ten days and she is better. Uncle goes all over Burma telling stories of the Bible and the people love it. Many are converted to Jesus. One night without any light but the moon Uncle and Dr Rabbit walk a 20 mile path to get a boat to pick up their supplies through a flooded area with much prayer and sometimes very deep water they make it through. This book is a wonderful series of spiritual stories with DR Rabbit and mainly Aunt and Uncle. I would rate this 10+++++++.
