The Tree's Armor (Gold Feather Gardeners series, Book 3)

By Erin Greneaux

Description:

What can you count on when everything falls apart? Maya has always trusted in her own abilities, but this time she is out of solutions.

Still on a hunt for the missing Virtue Gems, sisters Maya and Everly get an unexpected job in the Enchanted Garden. Scaly plants cover an enormous oak tree, some protecting it and others destroying it, and the girls must clear out the bad sections to save the tree. Everly gets to work, but Maya has other plans for her time: winning the community garden’s best bloom contest. What starts out as a brilliant, though maybe selfish, idea quickly spirals out of control. Can the girls find a way to fix what is broken, or is it too late?

The Tree’s Armor is the third book in the Gold Feather Gardener series, teaching big Bible concepts to young minds. This early chapter book with full-color illustrations that teaches kids ages 5-10 a tangible way to discern selfish ambitions from those focused on others. The story’s clear illustration of humility is enlightening for children and parents alike to grasp where the true source of security and ability lies.

Book Takeaway:

We come to God broken, with nothing to offer other than what He has already given us, but He invites us to take part in His marvelous plan anyway!

Why the author wrote this book:

Humility is a difficult concept for adults to understand, much less children. This allegory beautifully demonstrates on a child's level what pride looks like and the dangers it poses, along with the beautiful gift of humility.
