Summary

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.
