God Gave Us Easter (God Gave Us Series)

From Booklist

Little Cub is stunned to hear her father say that Easter is even better than Christmas. On a walk, Papa Bear uses an Easter egg, an uprooted tree, and evidence of new life in a pinecone to tell the Easter story: how Jesus was once the root of Jesse who came to die and to rise again so that we might have the chance to go to heaven, where we can see Him face-to-face. Covering doctrines like sin, prayer, and heaven in simple language that children can keep in mind, Bergren adds another lovely title to her “God Gave Us” series. Once again beautifully illustrated by Bryant in watercolors and colored pencil, the Arctic home of these polar bears seems warm and inviting, both indoors and out. This small volume will make a wonderful gift for Easter baskets in addition to to put on library shelves. Preschool-Grade 1. –Melissa Moore

A delightful illustrated picture book for readers ages 3 and up, God Gave Us Easter features the adorable polar bear Little Cub, talking with her father and learning about God’s design for the Easter season and what it in reality means. “God loved us such a lot he wanted us to all the time be with him too. That’s why God knew he’d wish to give us Easter.” As Little Cub celebrates Easter with Papa, Mama, and her brother and sister, she begins to ask her papa questions about this very special day of the year. Papa lovingly explains God’s plans for his children, at the same time as taking Little Cub on a memorable walk through her stunning Arctic world, and he shares how Easter came about in clear, simple terms that even the littlest cubs can keep in mind.
