A Review of Make Room: A Child’s Guide to Lent and Easter by Laura Alary

“This is the Season of Lent. The church is dressed in purple.” So begins this beautifully, yet simply, illustrated book for children. It compels the entire family to pause and consider Lent through reflection including silence, creating art, prayer, and giving to those in need.

This book by Laura Alary and illustrated by Ann Boyajian, is appropriate for elementary-aged children whose families desire to participate in Lent within their home. Some knowledge of Jesus’ life on earth: his time in the desert, his parables, the Lord’s Prayer is assumed. 

This is definitely a keepsake book for your children and their children.
