Miguel Nia Jardin – A New Christian Children’s Book For East Timor (via Grasa Mesak)

Jo McDougall has been telling us the stories behind her first two books for the children of East Timor.
In this post she explains her latest book, which is prepared and awaiting publication:

My son Michael is 8 years old. He collects seeds and loves growing plants. Michael lives in the tropics where tropical plants thrive – but the geranium seeds sprouted, flourished a promise of green but then promptly withered and died. Michael was disappointed….but the seed of a story had been planted!
Miguel Nia Jardin is the story of a little boy who plants some corn seeds but a heavy monsoon rain washes his little crop away. Naturally he is disappointed, but his mother tells him a story. A wonderful story about a beautiful garden and a man called Adam and a woman called Eve.

I’m looking forward to the publication and distribution of Miguel Nia Jardin.
