This is a very good book that teaches the story of Easter. The illustrations in this book are very symbolic such as crosses. I think this is a great book for young students to learn about Easter.

A very nice and simple telling the true story of Easter. The language is in a simple way for children to understand. Also the crucifixion isn't too gruesome (my least favorite picture to see as a kid..well even now ..I can't even look at the 3 stitches I currently have in my hand without shuddering) Very nicely done!

I like the talking point at the back and suggestions for teaching and learning!

This a good way to tell small children the Resurrection of Jesus/Easter story. The story tells us more than just to forgive others and not to blame others. The story tells us that Jesus died for our sins and that He overcame death.
