Introduce Young Readers to Christian Heroes of the Past Dear parents, teachers, and TRAILBLAZER readers, You are about to take an exciting adventure and meet a great Christian hero--Nate Saint, missionary to the Waorani tribe of Ecuador. For us, one of the most fun parts of writing the TRAILBLAZER BOOKS is doing the research. The Fate of the Yellow Woodbee was no exception--digging up facts about missionaries, learning about small airplane travel in the 950s, exploring Ecuador's fascinating topography, discovering the customs and beliefs of the Aucas and how they affected people like Nate Saint. We hardly knew where to stop! We hope reading The Fate of the Yellow Woodbee will whet your appetite to find out more about the Aucas and Nate Saint. Use this Curriculum Guide by our good friend and fellow writer Julia Pferdehirt to launch you on a journey of discovery. Let us know what you find out!--you can contact us by email at DaveNeta@trailblazerbooks.com. You can also learn a little more about us and some of the other TRAILBLAZER adventures waiting for you on our Web site: www.trailblazerbooks.com. Happy exploring! Dave and Neta Jackson
