We have been reading The Easter Storybook by Laura Richie. Each day we have read two or three of the bible stories within the book. I love that this book tells the story of Jesus and God’s love in a simple way that children will understand. The author wrote this book for children ages 4 to 8 so that they can understand who Jesus is, what He did, and why His death and resurrection mattered.
Each of the 40 Bible Stories are a great conversation starter for families this Easter season. Each bible story includes a question or two at the bottom of the page for families to discuss, together.
This book is beautifully written and I have to say the illustrations within this book are not only realistic but, gorgeous.
Highly recommend this beautiful book for your family to read during the Easter Season.
“Unlike other children’s Easter books, The Easter Storybook focuses not just on Jesus’ last days but on the journey. As Easter approaches, a beautiful new book will prepare your children for this most special event… of His whole life leading to the joy of Easter morning. Every story will give children a glimpse into Jesus’ identity—as Teacher, Good Shepherd, Savior, and King—making this a rich book to read throughout the year.”
Laura Richie, who also wrote the bestselling The Advent Storybook, said, “Each story adds a stroke to the portrait of the God who came to restore what was broken and find what was lost. During the season of Lent, let’s pause each day and remember. Sit down as a family and remember who Jesus was and why He had to die, then celebrate His victory over evil and death! May you and your family see Jesus and delight in His beauty, love, and grace.”
A fitting companion to The Advent Storybook, TheEasterStorybookis a wonderful way to discover as a family why Jesus came to earth as Rescuer, Redeemer, and Friend.
