The Parable of the Lily: An Easter and Springtime Book for Kids -- Liz Curtis Hi

<p>Maggie, the farmer's youngest daughter, loves getting gifts, especially mysterious ones. One wintry day, she receives a package in the mail. She excitedly opens the package to find a bulb buried in a crate of dirt. This was not what Maggie expected. She had hoped for a doll or a game, not a bulb that would one day become a plant. When spring comes, she finds the bulb in the cellar and tosses the lifeless thing into the garden, never to think of it again. . . . Until she walks outside on Easter morning and finds the most beautiful lily she has ever seen. Through the unique gift of a bulb, Maggie discovers the power of grace and forgiveness and the true meaning of Easter.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Liz Curtis Higgs<br><b>Publisher:</b> Thomas Nelson<br><b>Published:</b> 02/04/2007<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.54lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 8.24w x 0.36d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781400308446<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8
