Best Christian Easter Books for Children

Lucy Rycroft, Blogger for the Hope-Filled family, begins with some honest thoughts on the challenges of the Easter story for children, stating “…you have betrayal, denial, skies going black, Jesus in agony…”

However, she then explains the importance of it.

“If we avoid the story altogether, opting instead for a safe, comfortable Easter of chocolate eggs and bunnies, we risk our kids growing up without the central belief of our faith: the one thing which makes sense of life and death, our one hope for eternity.”

Lucy writes about Anika Lillicrap’s latest book How Can They Call it Good?

“Anika Lillicrap is one of my favourite Christian writers for children. Her rhyming words (yes they rhyme AND scan – joy!) flow so beautifully with rich gospel truth, here exploring what happened over that first Easter weekend, and the significance for us. This book moves me to tears! It expresses such powerful truth in simple language that younger children can understand.

Kezia Hulse’s collage-style illustrations are simple and striking. The whole book looks and reads brilliantly, and deserves a place on every Christian family’s bookshelf for its helpful explanation of what Easter means for us.”
