The Children's Champion: A Righteous Rage

This is another post from the read through of Too Small to Ignore by Wess Stafford hosted by Jill Foley from Compassion Family.

I shared a few days ago some of the key messages that moved me about Chapter 8, The Silence of the Lambs, of Wess Stafford’s Too Small to Ignore.
