The Baby Garden answers the age-old question that young children ask of "Where do babies come from?" from a spiritual possibility. This sweet book helps young readers to understand the Scripture behind Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you: And I ordained you a prophet to the nations." The Baby Garden declares that babies are all with Jesus before conception, and it develops a level of belief that God specifically assigns each person a guardian angel from the beginning, who will be with them before they are born, throughout their lives, and after they die. This claim is grounded in the Scripture from Psalm 91:11, "For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways." It also supports that God's gifts to each person are uniquely planned out along with individual talents that make each person unique.

This luminous picture book tells the fascinating true story of artist Nek Chand and how his secret art project—hidden away in a jungle—became one of India’s most treasured wonders, second only to the Taj Mahal. In the bustle of the busy streets of Chandigarh, India, Nek Chand saw something no one else did. Where others saw rocks and stones, Nek saw the boyhood village he missed so dearly. Where others saw broken plates and glass, Nek saw laughing men. And where others saw trash, Nek saw beauty. Nek Chand’s incredible rock garden, built from stone and scraps and concrete, began as a way for him to express his long-felt grief at having to leave his boyhood village due to the violence caused by the partition of India. What began as a secret and personal (not to mention initially illegal) project became so much more, not only to Nek but to all of India.
