Childrenās books perfect for Easter Baskets š£
A thoughtful collection of childrenās books your family will return to long after Easter
What we give our children shapes what they come to love.
Alongside the candy and celebration this Easter, I wanted to share a few childrenās books that can help anchor their hearts in the bigger story of Jesusās life, death, and resurrection. Some of these books are Easter-specific, but many are classics that can be read year-round. Each book on this list is thoughtful, rooted in Scripture, and points to the good news we get to celebrate on Easter.
These are either books I currently have on our bookshelves or would add to my own kidsā baskets!
Enjoy the list below?! If you love it, leave a comment at the bottom with suggestions for another reading list youād like to see from me.
