We have never been more excited about Spiring time than in 2021! With a sensation of hope nationwide, we are truly living the spirit of Easter celebration all month long. A few weeks ago, I asked my 3 and 4 year olds what Easter meant. They quickly replied, “Bunnies and candy and eggs!” While they are enchanting symbols of spring time, we know that the reason we celebrate Easter as a family is thanks to Jesus Christ – who died and rose again. Although our children know about Jesus, we had never explained Christ’s resurrection until now. And how did we describe it to them, with the help of ZonderKidz books. Their collection of books for this time of year are superb and each book uniquely narrates the Easter story. Visit the Zonderkidz Easter Gift Guide to learn more about these books and other great gifts HERE.
These are the Best Children’s Books that speak about the true meaning of Easter:
‘Twas the Morning of Easter: This is the continuation of the classic poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” (which is in our must-have Christmas book list). ’Twas the Morning of Easter tells the story of the resurrection of Jesus in a fresh, inspiring way and features joyful illustrations that bring the story to life for children. Our children enjoyed learning about the morning Christ rose again! Click HERE to learn more.
The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story: The Berenstain Bears books are childhood classics and it’s great to see my kids enjoy them as much as I did. This book in particular, hit close to home because it’s similar to what happened to us when I asked my children what Easter meant to them. It tells the story of when Mama Bear overhears the cubs and Papa talking about their favorite Easter candies, and she realizes a lesson in the real meaning of Easter is needed in The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story, which features a colorful sticker sheet. Kids love stickers which made this book the more fun! Click HERE to learn more.
The Beginner’s Bible Come Celebrate Easter Sticker and Activity Book: This is such a delightful sticker and activity book. The Easter story comes to life through age-appropriate puzzles, activity pages, and stickers in this friendly and fun The Beginner’s Bible Easter Sticker and Activity Book featuring classic art and simply written content from The Beginner’s Bible. We were able to do the activities together and take turn putting the stickers in the pictures. Click HERE to learn more.

He is Risen: This takes the cake for telling the resurrection story in a unique and creative way by arranging a few rocks together. He Is Risen, Rocks Tell the Story of Easter, created by Patti Rokus, is an unforgettable picture book that uses majestic rock art, Scripture, and simple yet powerful text to inspire wonder and awe as the miracle of Easter unfolds across the pages. This was my son’s favorite and inspired him to play and use rocks for storytelling. Click HERE to learn more.
Jesus Storybook Bible: What makes The Jesus Storybook Bible different from other kids’ bibles? While other kids’ bibles contain stories from the Old and New Testaments, The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible, pointing to Jesus as our Savior. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God’s great story of salvation—and at the center of their story too.

The Beginner’s Bible: Currently, this is our children’s favorite bible and we read a story every morning and afternoon. I love all the bible stories and vibrant illustrations that are included! The Beginner’s Bible is where a child’s journey towards a lifelong love of God’s Word begins. My kids love reading about David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, Noah’s Ark, and more. There is also great content on Jesus’ ministry as they see a man in need of healing lowered down through the roof of a house. This bible is a must-have all year round. We highly recommend this children’s bible for all parents. Click HERE to learn more.
How important it is to teach our little ones the meaning of Easter week. And these books will help you facilitate and tell the greatest story ever told! Wishing you all a fabulous Resurrection Sunday & Easter week.
