Share the glory of the cross with kids by reading this storybook together, and then using the 15-door Easter calendar and included family devotional in the run-up to Easter.
The beautiful hardback Bible storybook for 3+ year olds takes children on a journey from the Garden of Eden to God’s perfect new creation. It is a gospel presentation that focuses on the significance of the temple curtain. God said “because of your sin you can’t come in”, but the moment the curtain tore in two, everything changed. Children will learn why Jesus died and rose again and why that’s the best news ever.
The Easter calendar is an innovative resource for counting down to Easter Sunday. It comes with two weeks of Easter family devotions based on the passages used in The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross Storybook.

Endorsement written for The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross Storybook
This is quite superb. Beautifully written and illustrated, this tells the story of the gospel so captivatingly that little ones will want to read it again and again. I’m sure it will win many young lives to Christ.

My grandchildren loved this book—and so did I. Both the pictures and the words have made the Bible's story of redemption clear and beautiful. This is a book that invites us in.

I think Carl Laferton has done an exceptional job of simplifying an essential truth which could easily come across as very complicated … He makes articulating doctrine seem like child’s play.... continue reading
From the collection of books that Catalina illustrated…this is one of the few that retold the story of Adam & Eve. Overall it was written pretty well (and of course the illustrations are beautiful!! I am so delighted with all of Catalina’s works)…but I was disappointed with one important part that this author has missed/dropped and that is the serpent! Instead, he only mentioned that adam & eve sinned against God, and what sin is and it just did not feel right , nor accurate… i believe mentioning that the devil tricked eve in the first place is super important and should not be missed/reworded as if it was all adam & eve’s fault. It is the devil who wants us to be separated from God. thankfully it is in the illustration so one can always just add that part to tell the kids. There is another book in this illustrator’s collection which i think retold the story much better, more accurate, more concise and easier for kids to even just relate to or understand. It’s the Any time Any place Any prayer- there is a part in the beginning with adam & eve and i just think it was perfectly spot on in super summarising the Bible for little kids! And such a beautiful way of telling us how much God loves us and wants to be with us!!
I read this book to children of different ages and cultures. They were all captivated and engaged by the combination of the storyline and the illustrations. The revealing of the truth about the tearing of the curtain was delightful to see in the children's eyes.
We absolutely love this collection,
My daughter gave one of these books to her first grade teacher and she loved it.
While The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross is a children's book, all ages can learn from the spiritual connections it makes between the Old and New Testaments. Carl Laferton has become my favorite author of Children's books.
These images were amazing. I used them for a read-a-loud with a large number of kids. I read from the book and they see the images on a screen. It works wonderfully!!
This is one of my highest-recommended children's books! We bulk-ordered it and passed them out to all the kids at our church on Easter Sunday! A comprehensive Biblical look at the whole Gospel in terms children can understand and adults can enjoy.
Kids love it and request to re-read it constantly!
We used this in collaboration with and Easter event we held for families at our church. Families were given this outside of the event but then at the event, the story was read and a storyboard craft was created by all families attending. The partnership of both pieces allowed us to have a united Lent discipleship moment for our families!
This is lovely book which gives the big overarching story of the gospel in a very relevant way with great illustrations.
It kept my kids’ attention and has a great message!
