Prepare to see the Garden of Eden as you always wished you could - tangible, leaves rustling, the scent of fruit on the breeze. This beautiful and imaginative children's book brings the story of our parents' fall to life and points to the work of Jesus Christ, the greater Adam.
This retelling by children's author N.D.

Books in The Old Stories series are designed to help children (and adults) reimagine biblical stories, seeing things they have never seen before. Ages 4 and up.
