How can we help children experience the true meaning of Lent, cultivate generosity, and prepare their hearts for Easter? Make Room by Laura Alary offers an innovative and engaging way for children to approach Lent, teaching them how to make room for Jesus in their everyday lives through acts of kindness, hospitality, and self-reflection.
This beautifully illustrated children's book connects everyday activities--like baking bread, having a neighbor over for dinner, or un-cluttering a room--with the story of Jesus' life, showing how these simple tasks mirror the values of justice, love, and sacrifice that Jesus lived. It's not just a book about Lent; it's an invitation to experience it with all the senses, helping children understand how to embody faith and discipleship in their own unique ways.
Unlike traditional books that simply recount the Passion narrative, Make Room thoughtfully integrates the themes of hospitality and self-giving that were central to Jesus' ministry. It invites children to wonder about the story of Lent and Easter, teaching them that this season is not just about giving up things, but about creating space in our hearts and lives for others--and for God.

- Practical, real-life activities for children to engage with the Lenten season.
