A Principled Passion™ Guide for Parents, Caregivers, Christian Educators, Mentors, etc.
 
More than a bedtime tale—it’s a trusted tool for parents ready to have one of the most important conversations with their children.
 
In this beautifully illustrated story, the Royals (an African American married couple) share a metaphoric lesson with their young children about valuing their bodies like a treasured garden—wonderfully made, uniquely theirs, and worth protecting. Through intentional and playful moments in the family backyard, on the front porch, and at the dinner table, their children discover that their private parts are special, precious, and treasured.
 
For parents and caregivers, this Principled Passion™ resource opens the door to the talk—explaining sensitive truths with dignity, love, and faith. Every lesson within pairs scripture from the NLT and NIV, offering both story and spiritual foundation. As you read aloud, you’ll be equipped to:
Teach your child that their body is a gift from God to be treasured.
Give language for privacy, consent, and safety in age-appropriate ways.
Reassure them that they can always come to you for protection, guidance, and truth.
Lay a foundation for future conversations about principled passion, marriage, and God’s design for intimacy.
 
Parents and caregivers will find Treasured Garden to be both a gentle story and a lasting resource—planting seeds of self-worth, safety, and sacredness in their children's hearts. Christian Educators and mentors, with parental consent, can also use this tool with children to reinforce lessons about the body, boundaries, and bravery.
