Customer Reviews

wonderful book

Our family has fallen in love with this book and its beautiful pictures. It's my 22 month old son's favorite book. I found it interesting that Jesus' face is never shown in the pictures. There are a few details in the story that are not completely accurate, but overall it's a wonderful book.

Easter for Children

It is not easy to retell the Easter story for young children. How do you portray the horror of the crucifixion or the joy of the disciples? This simple retelling never talks down to the child, yet doesn't shock with graphic detail. The illustrations are beautiful. reverent, and show realistic people and faces rather than cartoonish ones. This rendition clearly converys the awe and wonder of those who cherish this story.

Fabulous Re-Telling of the Story of Easter!

This is without a doubt one of the very best books for young children I have ever read telling the ages old story of the Resurrection. It is uplifting and the art is fantastic. I would highly recommend it to any parent.
