The very first Easter

This picture book retells the final week of Jesus's life for young children, beginning with his arrival in Jerusalem and moving toward the events of Easter morning. Each spread carries a single line of text alongside large, warm illustrations, so the story unfolds slowly and can be read aloud to very young listeners. Written for children around four to eight, it suits bedtime reading, Sunday school sessions and family devotions at Easter, offering a simple, gentle introduction to the Christian account of the holiday.
