The warm sun falls on Petra's smiling face as she breathes in the
delicious smells of roses, daisies, pansies and forget-me-nots. What
could be more beautiful than a flower? When she announces to her friend
Seth that she wants to grow her own garden, he agrees to help her by
building a wall to protect the delicate flowers from harm. But it's not
as easy as they think. Sometimes they don't get along, and the work is
even harder then they imagined. Should they just give up? Will the
flowers ever bloom? Can their friendship last when disaster strikes the
garden? The answers lie within Petra and Seth and within The Garden
Wall. In this engaging children's story, healthy friendship grows into
committed love as Seth and Petra build a beautiful garden and the wall
that protects it. The words of 1 Corinthians 13 carved into the
expanding wall are practical in all relationships - with friends, in
school, in families. Anyone who chooses to mirror these 14 qualities can
expect good results as they grow relationships into deep, trusting,
lasting friendships. Use this book to open doors of communication with
your children as you teach them the very important lessons regarding
healthy, loving relationships.
