Synopsis

Easter is filled with fun things to celebrate the turning of winter into spring, and even more importantly, to celebrate Christ's resurrection. There are many other traditions that have started blocking out the true meaning of Easter. Bring the children in your life back to the truth of Easter and the real story of the holiday. Follow along with Christopher, a ten-year old boy who only wants the real stories of Christian holidays. His family sits him down and reads him the story of Easter straight from the Gospel of Luke. Scripture verses are included as you work your way through the text and beautiful, lifelike illustrations. The award-winning team of Paul Maier and Francisco Ordaz work together to bring children ages 5 to 10 vivid pictures of Jesus' last days on earth. With vocabulary to challenge children's critical thinking and understanding, The Very First Easter makes a wonderful gift for children, families, and friends. Recognized by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association as a Gold Medallion Book Award winner for excellence in Evangelical Christian publishing.
