Faith Based Easter Books for Kids

You know how when the seasons change, it feels like suddenly none of the kids has the appropriate clothes to wear that are big enough or small enough or cool enough or warm enough? Besides the change of clothes, some of us change our homes. A warm day comes, and we look up and realize the snowflake pictures no longer seem right. At this time of year, I like to put decorations around my home that say Spring is almost here! 

Those visual cues are important to you and your families. Here's a way you can help your kids get in step not only with the change of seasons, but the reality behind the season of new life--the resurrection celebration is the reason for hope. The seemingly dead flowers and trees burst into life to re-enact the resurrection truth that Jesus defeated death.

Helping kids understand Easter is easier when you use picture books. Just like at Christmas time, you can show your kids the reason for the Easter celebration by reading aloud. Here are a few to get you started. For a printable version, download the complete list at the end of the email.
