 Could have been a little betterMay 12, 2010
I got this book based on other reviews and the fact that I wanted an Easter book that focused on the true meaning, rather than the bunny. While its a cute, sweet book, I was disappointed in the story a little. Its about a boy who's sister falls ill and he goes to live with some family friends. Easter is coming and he wonders what the point of Easter Eggs are and he is told the story of the resurrection. He dyes eggs and prays and then goes home to his sister who is now well. It was a nice story, it just seemed like the author got bored and so ended it abruptly. Don't get me wrong--its a nice story but I just would have ended it with comparing the egg and Resurrection to new life and tied that in with his sister's new chance at life.
 Brought me to tearsFeb 02, 2010
I have three children who will soon be 1, 3, and 5 years old. It has always been very important to me to emphasize the true meaning of Christmas and Easter and downplay the secular traditions. It's easy to do with Christmas. The Nativity scene is as prominent as the Christmas tree, and we have a birthday cake for Jesus. However, because Easter deals with death and resurrection, I have found it much more difficult to explain to the kids, and much more difficult to emphasize the true meaning. I picked this book up at the library last week and just read it to them for naptime. I honestly had to choke back tears to get through it. The story is beautiful and poignant, and the pictures are wonderful. It really conveyed the true spirit of Easter in a way that little ones can understand. What an accomplishment! Bravo!

Great "Legend" to keep the reason for Easter in a childs mindMar 20, 2008
This is a great book to keep children remembering the true reason for the Easter Holiday. My boys LOVE these books! They are beautiful. Someone had mentioned in a review that it was not fact, well no, it is not. But are most Legends? (Isn't that way it is called a legend?!) So if you are looking for a book to celebrate Easter and heartwarming, this is an amazing book!!

 Fiction decorated as factMar 19, 2008
The tradition of the Easter Bunny and the Easer Egg are PAGAN! Christianity absorbed it into its religious practices. Don't pretend the past did not exist. Do your research and tell your kids the truth. Many Christian practices come from pagan traditions... and that is OK. That is just history.

beautiful illustrationsAug 17, 2007
This is one of several Easter-themed books our family owns, and it is one we return to again and again no matter what time of year. It contains many of the various elements of Lent/Holy Week, and weaves them into a lovely children's story. The illustrations are outstanding, particularly the one of the angel outside the empty tomb on Easter morning. Currently we have the board book version (which is of course abbreviated) and like it so much that we want to buy the full-length version. I'm confused as to why a previous reviewer gave it only 3 stars but had no criticism of it. It's a 5-star book in my opinion and highly recommended.
