The Fig Tree
In the gospels of Matthew and Mark, we hear about a fig tree by the side of the road that doesn’t bear any fruit. Jesus curses it, and when the disciples pass it the next morning they see that it has withered and died. Needless to say, it’s not a story we often tell our children.
But what if that’s not the end for the fig tree? Told from the perspective of the tree itself, this book is for children who wonder about their part in God’s creation. In intricate paper-cut collage illustrations, this book shows a vibrant world that is being reconciled to a God who loves every part of it deeply, even the cursed fig tree.
