This Christmas, Trade Snow for Sun in Mexico!
God Gave Us Easter
(God Gave Us Series)
The story:
Little Cub is stunned to hear her father say that Easter is even better than Christmas. On a walk, Papa Bear uses an Easter egg, an uprooted tree, and evidence of new life in a pinecone to tell the Easter story: how Jesus was the root of Jesse who came to die and to rise again so that we would have the chance to go to heaven, where we will see Him face-to-face.
Covering doctrines like sin, prayer, and heaven in simple language that children can understand, Bergren adds another lovely title to her “God Gave Us” series.
Once again beautifully illustrated by Bryant in watercolors and colored pencil, the Arctic home of these polar bears seems warm and inviting, both indoors and out.
This small volume will make a wonderful gift for Easter baskets as well as to put on library shelves. Preschool-Grade 1. --Melissa Moore
Powerful book. Worth it. Definitely, a MUSY HAVE if you like the series. And EVEN if you don’t have any, it’s excellent!
NOTE: Since it specifically mentions death & dying (since Jesus died on the cross) it is especially good for a child who has lost someone like a parent or grandparent or sibling or anyone in their life that they miss.
IMPORTANT: Jesus’ resurrection power is such an important concept to instill in little ones. It’s one of those books that makes you—the reader— tear up in a good way. It’s depth even speaks to adults!
I bought one for myself, our home. My cousin’s little girls who lost their dad at the beginning of COVID. And a neighbor boy to put in his basket. A perfect book to add to Easter baskets. Especially if you get the board book version.
