This book has many Bible stories that are great to read leading up to Easter. However, if someone already has God's Big Promises Storybook, this would be redundant. Only buy this book of you do not have the other.
The Story of Easter by Carl Laferton is a beautifully written and illustrated book that provides a clear and faithful retelling of the gospel message for children. It walks readers through the events of Jesus’ death and resurrection with a focus on why these moments matter for all of us.
As a parent, I deeply value how this book combines simple yet profound language with vibrant illustrations, making the story accessible to younger children without losing its depth. Laferton does an excellent job of weaving together the narrative of Easter with the broader story of redemption, helping kids see Jesus’ death and resurrection as the centerpiece of God’s plan for salvation.
What stood out to me is how the book doesn’t just tell the Easter story—it invites kids to respond. It helps children understand that Jesus’ sacrifice wasn’t just a historical event but something personal and life-changing.
This book is perfect for family devotions, homeschool Bible lessons, or gifting during the Easter season. If you’re looking for a way to share the good news of Easter with children in a way that’s faithful to Scripture and engaging for their hearts, The Story of Easter is an excellent choice. It’s a resource I’m excited to read with my family year after year!
