This beautifully illustrated picture book takes children on a journey from Eden to God’s perfect new creation. With simple storytelling and vivid artwork, it explains that “because of our sin, we can’t go in”—but because of Jesus’ victory on the Cross, an even better garden awaits. It is a simple yet profound proclamation of God's Love and Jesus' redemption appropriate for children. Perfect as a bedtime read-aloud or a Baptism gift.
Why we recommend it:
This book proclaims the heart of the Gospel in language and images children can grasp: God’s loving creation, our sin and separation, Jesus’ redemption through the Cross, and the promise of eternal life with Him. It lays a foundation for young hearts to see their place in God’s story and to respond with wonder and trust. By framing salvation history through the lens of God’s love and Jesus’ sacrifice, it gives children the building blocks of the kerygma in a way that is both simple and profound.
