Need some ideas on good books that talk about Easter in a way children understand? No worries! I have found a collection of Easter books just for you! I have provided a mix of books from Amazon and non-Amazon sources if that's what you prefer. Check them out below!
In our family, we don't tote the Easter Bunny story in anyway. The girls have always known that there is no such thing. Read my article Tooth Fairies, Santa, Easter Bunny, and God. We try to point our kids to Jesus' death and resurrection as much as we can. Many people also put emphasis on Passover instead, however Passover only points to Jesus' death and resurrection so we don't put too much emphasis on Passover except to show how the Bible has always pointed to the need for Jesus' sacrifice. Please remember that Passover and Easter are not the same thing. Also, always do your homework on the history of such holidays to be knowledgeable about the history of Easter in Pagan history. I'm not saying to stop doing easter things, only to arm yourself with the knowledge of it's background.
