The Story of Easter

A Christian Easter Book for Kids




This Big Golden Book edition of the best-selling Little Golden Book is the perfect way to share the true meaning of Easter with the whole family.

This beautifully illustrated introduction to the biblical account of Jesus's final days on earth—including the Last Supper, the Resurrection, and the Ascension—is now available as a Big Golden Book. This bigger format makes for a better read-aloud for families and in Sunday School classrooms, encouraging more participation from young readers and students. It's a great way to teach children why Easter is a religous Holy Day and how Christians celebrate today.
