Review
“A great addition to your Lent / Easter Shelf Unit: This unique book invites children to experience Lent with all their senses, and to see it as a special time for creating a welcoming space for God. We recommend placing this book on the bottom shelf of your Lent / Easter shelf unit.” —The Rev. Cheryl V. Minor, Ph.D. Co-Rector, All Saints' Church, Belmont, MA, Director of the Center for the Theology of Childhood, The Godly Play Foundation “While I realize my daughter will develop her own faith traditions, I want her to be aware of all the various ways she can remember all her Lord and Savior has done for her. This book explains why Lent helps us remember. Taking us through the events of Holy Week, the author explains how all the Lenten traditions we focus on help us “Make Room” for more of Jesus. While the book is simple enough for a child, it unpacks the importance of participating in Lent very well.” —Traci Rhoades“The book reveals what is usually hidden: what we knew as penitential is actually life-giving and faith-building. After reading the book to my kids, my five year old daughter exclaimed ‘I can't wait for Lent! I just can't wait!’”—Gary Neal Hansen, Author of Kneeling with Giants: Learning to Pray with History's Best Teachers“Dr. Alary truly respects the child and asks us to walk with them as they point us to Christ. This is a wonderful resource.” —Rev. Olivia Stewart, Director of Children & Worship“This is a poetic, practical and theologically wise book for children.” —L. Ann Jervis, Professor of New Testament, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto.“Wow, what a wonderful children's book, delightfully illustrated and nicely told. It is an invitation for children to wonder about the Lenten story, helping children to experience Lent with all their senses. I think it is a fine book for almost any kind of Christian.” —Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Books“Make Room: A Children's Guide to Lent and Easter was a solid addition to the religious education of our young children. Where many Easter books focus on the resurrection of Christ, this book tenderly and thoughtfully explained the Lenten season with child-appropriate examples of reasonable and realistic ways in which children can observe. With sections on reaching out to help others, giving away extra so that others can have simply enough, and ways to sit in quiet prayer and reflection, this book created room for ongoing thought-provoking questions. Best of all, the book is written in a way that allows the child to see ways in which to meaningfully participate in the process and shift attention away from a season of “I can't have...” to a season of preparation and dedication. Make room on your shelf for this title.” —Amy Shaw, Educator“Reading Make Room with my two-year old Plum, I delighted to see how Alary makes room for our own conversation within her text, sprinkling pages with I wonder and maybe. I wonder why Jesus went into the desert? I wonder who they thought Jesus was? Ann Boyajian’s illustrations are thought-filled and beautiful, making the book feel like a window into an active congregation where the Biblical stories are vividly live. I liked how Alary balances wondering questions with more straightforward teaching. She writes simply and clearly so that small children will be able to understand, but older ones will also be able to find rich material for their own wondering. Intriguingly, Alary makes a point of creating a wide sense of space around both the crucifixion and the resurrection. She does not supply the theological meaning behind either aspect of the story, but rather describes the lived history and experience of Easter and again makes room for us all, whatever our theological understanding, within the story.” —Katie Munnik, The Messy Table, Presbyterian Record “Children of all ages will come away with a broader understanding of the holy Lenten season and what it means to prepare for the glorious gift of Easter and new life in Christ.” —Michelle Thomas-Bush, Big Ideas in Youth Ministry www.bigideasym.com

About the Author
Laura Alary is a writer, storyteller, and religious educator. When she was a little girl she used to make her own books out of manila paper, crayons, and mucilage. These early efforts at writing eventually gave way to academic papers and theses, as she earned degrees in Classics (B.A., Dalhousie), Theology (M.Div., Knox College, University of Toronto) and New Testament (Ph.D., University of St. Michael’s College). More recently, Laura has focused on a new type of education—raising three creative and curious children. She leads workshops on everything from storytelling to biblical interpretation, teaches the occasional university course, and works with children at a local congregation. She has also returned to her early love of creating her own books, including Is That Story True? and Mira and the Big Story. Laura lives in Toronto, Canada.Ann Boyajian is the illustrator of many books, including Samantha's Friendship Fun (in the American Girl series), More Spice Than Sugar (Houghton Mifflin), and O Say Can You See? American's Symbols, Landmarks, and Inspiring Words (Scholastic).

My new favorite Lenten book! Goes perfectly with Children and Worship or Godly Play. Such a sweet way to encounter Jesus with children during Lent. I recommend this for every family!
As I was reading this book, I kept thinking, "wow--this is good, but abstract". When I went to amazon to double check the age range (which is 8-12) it made much more sense to me. That said, I think the format might better reach its intended audience in a less child-like configuration--right now, it seems that it might be too "babyish" for a middle schooler to want to read. So 4 stars for content, but 2 start for delivery.
Few books capture the heart of this season and invite you simply to live into Lent as a family making you aware of the heart of the season and how you can respond to God through it. Lovely!
This is a wonderful book not only for children, but for adults who want to learn more about Lent.
Meaningful for children or adults. In some ways it reminded me of the levels of understanding in the Little Prince. I will be buying more copies for special people.
This is a beautifully written and illustrated book about Lent. Children’s books about Lent are rare and this one is very well done. While it incorporates some aspects that are traditionally Catholic, it is very ecumenical and can be used in any church.
Great product -- no issues whatsoever.
Like this book. Will be used this Lenten season.
