Five Gospel-Centered Easter Books for Kids

When Easter rolls around, it’s easy to focus on the new outfits, family plans, and where the Easter egg hunt will be. But in the middle of all the excitement, take a moment to slow down and center your home on what Easter is really about.

One simple way to do that is to swap out your child’s usual bedtime stories for Gospel-centered books that help them understand the true meaning of Easter, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Here are a few of our recommendations:

  1. “The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross” by Carl Laferton
  2. “I am Rescuer: Christ” by Jennie Allen
  3. “The Very First Easter” The Beginner’s Bible published by ZonderKidz
  4. “The Donkey That No One Could Ride” by Anthony DeStefano
  5. The Action Bible “Easter: 25 Stories about Jesus’ Resurrection” published by David C Cook

Because Easter isn’t just something we celebrate once a year. It’s the story that changes everything.
