Not an easy read for young ones
I love the illustration but the story was not written for a young reader to read or well enough to hold a toddlers attention. I just narrated my own version.

Great Summary of the Real Meaning of Easter, But For Younger Kids
I teach second grade at a Lutheran school and I got this book so I could use it as part of my lesson about Easter, but now that my daughter is 3, I plan on reading it with her this upcoming Easter so that I can explain what Easter is really about, not just the Easter bunny, chocolates, and Easter baskets. I love that the author keeps the text short on each page and quickly summarizes the Easter story in a way that is understandable to children and is suitable for their attention spans. It touches on some miracles Jesus did, how he chose his disciples, that some people didn’t want to hear about God, the events of Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Jesus’ arrest, and crucifixion. I like that it states Jesus was sent to die, but doesn’t get into gory detail that would be frightening to children or graphic. It explains how Jesus rose on the third day and that who believes in Him has eternal life. Understand that it’s a quick summary and is more intended for children 3-7 years old, so older children would probably like more detail than what is given here.The illustrations are beautifully done in what looks like watercolor and have a lot of details in them. I highly recommend this book for parents to explain the real meaning of Easter in a summarized, kid friendly way to young children!

Great book for young children!
The book arrived on time and in great condition. It is well written and appropriate for young children and the illustrations are very well done. The only issue I have with the content is that they skip over the fact that Mary was the first to see Jesus and to know he had risen. He chose her first! I think including this fact would be great for young girls to read. Other than that, it is a great book!
