Anyone who cares about children will find this inspirational--and now practical--treatise a must-read- parents, teachers, mentors, and caregivers of all kinds; church pastors, ministry leaders, and small group members will regard this book as a needed resource for individual and group study; and child advocacy organizations and their members and supporters will also find this an important contribution to their work.

Too Small to Ignore will encourage you to turn your good, loving intentions into

strategic actions and empower you to help change the world-and the

future-forever, one child at a time.

The time has come for a major paradigm shift- Children are too important and too intensely loved by God to be left behind or left to chance. Children belong to all of us and we are compelled to intervene on their behalf. We must invest in children all across the world. In Too Small to Ignore, Dr. Stafford issues an urgent call for change. His adventures as a boy raised in a West African village provide an often-humorous and always-captivating backdrop to his profound and inspiring challenges. Wess lived the reality of ""it takes a village to raise a child"" and calls us to ""be that loving village for children everywhere.""

Reviews for Too Small to Ignore: Why Children are the Next Big Thing

Praise for Too Small to Ignore The heart of Compassion became so real and clear after reading this gripping saga of what a small child dramatically had to endure, which God has used to help the lives of countless children. Wess Stafford's story is heartbreaking, yet full of the grace and love that God has for His little ones. -Ned Lott, senior manager, Character Voices, Disney The first time I met Wess, I perceived this undeniable compassion in his eyes. I listened to him talk about growing up in Africa and heard his compassion. But not until I read this book did I fully understand why communicating compassion is as natural to Wess as breathing is to the rest of us. His journey through pain and hurt reinforces the fact that God does indeed bring beauty from ashes, and compassion from heartache. -Tamara Lott, Compassion Sponsor As I travel around the world, I see so many children in desperate straits-especially children with disabilities who are relegated to the lowest rung of the social ladder. My heart goes out to them! It's my prayer that through Wess Stafford's new book, a passion will ignite in the hearts of Christians around the globe to reach these little ones with his tender mercies and hands-on help. -Joni Eareckson Tada, president of Joni and Friends Too Small to Ignore is a wake-up call for all of us. It speaks to our responsibility to 'the least of these.' The truths in this book speak directly to the heart. If you want to understand children and why they matter to God, you have to read this book! -Michael W. Smith, artist and songwriter Nearly a half century ago in an African village, God was beginning to shape the destiny of one who would appear on the stage of life as a powerful voice and advocate for children of the world.
