A hopeful message for ages 4-7 about carving your own path and the courage it takes to embrace imperfection.
Eve and Adam loved life in Eden among all the beautiful plants and animals. And at the center of it all was the spectacular Tree of Knowledge. But despite how sweet it smelled and how amazing it looked, God warned Eve and Adam to stay away from the tree, and not to eat its fruits. "It will change you," God said.
While Adam was content, Eve was full of questions. Why is the sky blue? How far away is the sun? Why is thunder so loud? How do turtles grow shells? Eve went to see if maybe the Tree of Knowledge held the answers. There, a snake spoke to Eve, and she decided to take a fruit back to Adam. They must choose if they will listen to God's warning, or if they will seek the answers they crave, and accept the consequences.
