Christ-Centered Children's Books for Easter

*Affiliate links added for your convenience! Thank you for supporting my family!*

A reader asked if I was going to share some Christ-Centered Easter Children’s Books with y’all (kind-of like I did at Christmas with THIS POST).

I thought that was a great idea!

So, here are some really amazing books that will point your Happy Buddies to the true meaning of the Easter season.

This first book is our favorite!

Simple rhyming with a precious, gentle telling of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

The best part is the end where the author basically shares the Gospel and whenever I read it to the Happy Buddy it’s like this incredible opportunity to lead him to Jesus all over again.

We adore The Berenstain Bears. This book shares the Gospel in such a kid-friendly way – plus it comes with stickers!

This sweet book shares the message of Easter through a little girl who receives a bulb as a gift.

The story goes on to parallel how that bulb ends up becoming a beautiful lily and the little girl learns a powerful lesson about forgiveness and grace.

*Note – this book does not explicitly tell the story of Easter, but rather it is a parable with Easter Scripture references at the bottom of each page. It might be a little difficult for a small child to make the connection, but still a great read!*

This little book is SO CUTE and has the sweetest little rhyming way to it. The Gospel is clearly presented in an age appropriate way. The illustrations are adorable. My boys love this one!

Well, first of all, this book glitters. And that is pretty much enough to convince you to buy it.

But if I must go on… This book also describes items in an Easter basket and how they relate to the message of Christ.

YES, please!!!

If your Happy Home uses Resurrection Eggs to experience the story of Easter every year, then you MUST buy this book!

A little boy, Benjamin, has a small box that contains items that are the same as the items in the Resurrection Eggs.

You can actually read along and open the eggs with your Happy Buddies as the story unfolds.

I have been hearing SO much about this book. Retelling the Easter story through a Bible overview, children will discover that ‘because of our sin, we can’t go in’ but because of Jesus’ victory on the cross, an even better garden awaits us…

LOVE! Buy it HERE!

This book gets your Happy Buddies practicing their ABC’s in a Christ-centered way.

Awesome.

But more importantly, this book leads readers through the events of Holy Week and Easter Sunday using bright and colorful illustrations.

*Word to the wise – just watch out for the end. In an effort to make those obscure letters X, Y, and Z work, the author kind of jumped to Jesus’ ascension to heaven instead of explaining that He revealed Himself to a bunch of people first. Just thought you might want to explain that to your Happy Buddies so as not to confuse the actual events!*

Love this simple board book for young ones that affirms the fun of bunnies and baskets and egg hunting, but points out that the real beauty of Easter is in what Jesus did for us.

Buy it HERE.

And, finally, the Happy Buddy and I have been reading this story a lot over the last couple of weeks.

It just tells the traditional Easter story in an easy to comprehend manner so that your Happy Buddies know exactly what this upcoming holiday is all about.
