An invitation for children to wonder about the Lenten story. This unique book teaches children to experience Lent with all their senses, and to see it as a special time for creating a welcoming space for God. Simple activities like cleaning a room, making bread and soup, and inviting a neighbor for supper become acts of justice and kindness, part of a life of following Christ, and a way to make room for God in our lives and in the world around us.

Praise
Children of all ages will come away with a broader understanding of the holy Lenten season and what it means to prepare for the glorious gift of Easter and new life in Christ.

The book reveals what is usually hidden: what we knew as penitential is actually life-giving and faith-building. After reading the book to my kids, my five year old daughter exclaimed I can't wait for Lent! I just can't wait!
Gary Neal Hansen, Author of Kneeling with Giants: Learning to Pray with History's Best Teachers
Dr. Alary truly respects the child and asks us to walk with them as they point us to Christ. This is a wonderful resource.
Rev. Olivia Stewart, Director of Children & Worship
This is a poetic, practical and theologically wise book for children.
