The most common pitfalls in Easter books for children are: 1) violating the second commandment by depicting images of Jesus or 2) giving an unbiblical reason for Easter, or summary of what occurred at the resurrection. Books that come out into the house annually for a season are going to be pretty powerful for family culture so families should want to find good ones. This work is refining a child’s palette. A mother is helping shape an appetite for what is beautiful, as defined by God.
These are children’s books I recommend that capture the glorious meaning of Eastertide.
This list is separate from my springtime children books list, which I will compile at some point that would include themes of all of God’s lovely parts of spring: rainbows, rain storms, frogs, seeds or early gardening, bunnies, frogs, flowers, grasshoppers, caterpillars, kites, baseball, butterflies, or bumblebees.
