About Product: Bonnie’s family has a special guest over for dinner—an Apostle of the Lord! When Bonnie is asked to go feed the chickens, she doesn’t want to, but Elder Perry volunteers to go with her. On the trip to do a normal, everyday chore under extraordinary circumstances, Bonnie learns a valuable lesson about light, hope, and the power of example. In this beautifully illustrated children’s book, Sister Bonnie Cordon shares a personal experience and her testimony of the difference a focused, Christlike example can make.
