One to Treasure with Your Family Lisa M. Hendey Certain books hold a special place in the heart of any parent, and on the family bookshelf - The Jesus Garden is destined to join the ranks of these precious few. Antoinette Bosco's wonderful book for children examines the passion of Jesus Christ from the perspective of the plants and animals who fill his favorite garden. The opening pages of the book enable this love story to play out, introducing us to the dogwoods, the robin, the heart-shaped flowers, and of course their special friend Jesus.As the story plays out, we follow the Passion story from the moment of the agony in the Garden,. A perfect Easter gift The Jesus Garden is so unusually creative, telling the Passion of Christ from the point of view of the flowers, trees and birds of the garden of Gethsemane. I have never read anything like this. Quietly, gently, and with a profound sense of truth, a story of staggering depth and beauty unfolds in a way that is meaningful for even a very young reader or listener. This book deserves to be a classic of Christian literature for children.
