A Christ-centered picture book that helps young children understand the fruit of the Spirit as one fruit shown in nine beautiful ways.
 
Lily the Lamb joins all nine Fruit Friends for a special gathering in Grace Garden. She carries a wreath woven with nine colored ribbons.
 
Then a strong wind scatters their carefully made plans. Lily’s wreath rolls toward Peaceful Pond just as a low bluebird nest begins to tilt above three tiny chicks.
 
Lily must choose what matters most.
 
As the friends work together, Lily sees that each one can show more than one Spirit-shaped quality. When she must choose between saving her wreath and protecting the nestlings, Lily pauses, prays, and asks Jesus what she should do.
 
In this Christian picture book, children ages 1–6 learn that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are not nine separate fruits. They are nine expressions of the one fruit the Holy Spirit grows in us.
 
Through simple rhyming couplets, bright storybook illustrations, and a gentle child-sized choice, young readers see that spiritual growth is the Spirit’s work. He helps us become more like Jesus.
 
Rooted in Galatians 5:22–23, this book is perfect for families, Sunday school classrooms, preschool ministries, bedtime reading, and faith-filled gifts.
 
Open the pages and help the little ones you love discover this simple truth:
 
One fruit. Nine beautiful ways the Spirit helps us grow.
