God Gave Us Easter (book review)


God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren

From the back cover:

"God loved us so much he wanted us to always be with him too. That’s why God knew he’d need 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, while 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 understand.


My Thoughts:

Once again Ms Bergren gives my children a book to cherish.

With a lovely story line, absolutely stunning artwork and the adorable polar bears that we have come to love in her “God Gave Us…” series, God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren is a great addition to our library.

The book is lovely and my children enjoyed listening to the story that is gentle and give a nice perspective of Easter that does not include the blood and gore that many associate with the death of Jesus at Easter. Instead it focuses on the meaning of Easter as explained by Papa Polar Bear to his young cub as they are walking along through the forest.

This book is a treasure to add to our home library.
