Do You Have Any Children's Easter and Lent Book/Devotional Recommendations?

Great question. Can't wait to see the suggestions that come in!

Here are some of my favorites for children...

A Very Happy Easter by Tim Thornborough

‘Twas the Morning of Easter by Glenys Nellist

The Garden, the Curtain, the Cross by Laferton and Echeverri

A Tale of Three Trees by Hunt

The Donkey Who Carried a King by R.C. Sproul

Easter Love Letters from God by Glenys Nellist

God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren

He Is Risen:  Rocks Tell the Story of Easter

For children ages 2-3:

• "The Best Day Ever - The Story of Easter"
• "Hosanna! The Story of Palm Sunday"

Many more books and Children's Ministry resources for Easter can be found on this page of the Faith Alive website (CRCNA publishing) 

 

The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross, and The Friend who Forgives from the Tales that Tell the Truth series are my favorite picture books for Easter. For devotionals, they aren't books, but I've used the Jesus Storybook Bible printable devotional for Lent, and Dwell's God's Big Easter Story for Holy Week. They would be great resources to print copies of and have them in your church library for families to take. The 2024 copy of the Jesus Storybook Bible Lent reading plan hasn't been released yet, but you can view last year's here. It would be great to have copies of the Jesus Storybook Bible for families to check out along with the resource. God's Big Easter Story is available to download from the Dwell at Home page. I've used Bitter & Sweet for my Lent devotions and think it would work well with older (middle or high school age) children.

The Easter and Lent pages of the Family Faith Formation toolkit also have some great resources!
