Easter egg hunts and Easter baskets are a fun way for kids to celebrate Easter every year. However, it is important for children to understand that Easter is more than bunnies and jellybeans. The Easter story is a joyful celebration of Jesus’ victory over sin and death, which can be hard for little ones to grasp. That’s why I (and many other Christian children’s authors) write Easter books–so children can learn how Jesus gave His life for us!

This is Easter is one of six books in Our Daily Bread for Little Hearts board book series. With vibrant illustrations and rhyming text, the story of Jesus is told with honest, yet simple truth. The book introduces little ones to the life of Jesus—from telling fishermen to “come and follow me!” to giving His life on the cross and rising on Easter morning. Perfect for toddlers, this little book shows how Easter is all about God’s amazing love.

This is Jesus who came to earth.
God sent Him from above.
He came to take away our sins,
and show us God’s great love.

In Little Duckling’s Easter Prayers, Duckling and his woodland friends explore the many blessings of spring through rhyming prayers based on inspirational Bible verses. The prayers and praises will inspire young children to appreciate and give thanks as they celebrate the new season and prepare for Easter.

Thank you, Lord, for pretty flowers blooming in the spring.
Thank you, Lord, for sunny days and tiny birds that sing.
The animals are waking up—the earth is fresh and new.
And everything that you have made is giving praise to you.
Song of Solomon 2:11-12

For elementary school-aged children, Our Daily Bread for Kids Easter Coloring and Activity Book is bursting with fun activities to engage children with stories of the life of Jesus and lessons we can learn from His ministry on earth. Each page is filled with inspiring imagery and key takeaways from Jesus’ life as depicted in Scripture. Coloring pages, word search, crossword puzzles, and mazes will entertain kids for hours while filling their hearts and minds with God’s Word.

I pray that as you celebrate Easter with the children God has placed in your life, you may lead them to a greater understand of the sacrificial love of Jesus. Along with jellybeans and chocolate bunnies, add some eternal value to those Easter baskets.
