Easter Books!
Amon's Adventure (Christian, middle grade)... This is a devotional style biblical fiction four middle graders but I enjoyed it too. Sarah McKenzie of Read Aloud Revival encourages you to just read the story rather than the devotional element and I have to agree.
The Easter Egg by Jan Brett (secular, picture book)... This is fully secular, all Easter eggs and bunnies, but I can't resist Jan Brett's gorgeous illustrations!
The Easter Story by Carol Heyer (Christian, picture book)... Love this one! Beautiful message at the beginning and end, lovely way of writing out the Easter story, and lovely illustrations.
The Easter Story by Patricia A Pingry (Christian, picture book)... This is one of our books that gets read every Easter. Very cut and dry, the Easter story with simple illustrations that we all like.
The Friends of Jesus by Karen Kingsbury (Christian nonfiction) ... This biblical fiction by Karen Kingsbury was such a powerful read! I do seem to love anything she writes, at least so far, but I would highly recommend this one around Easter!
God Gave Us Easter (Christian, picture book)... We like all the books in this series so this is of course a fun one to pull out and read every year at Easter.
The Golden Egg Book by Margaret Wise Brown (secular, picture book)... Technically I do not adore this book, although I do like it fine, but it is special because it belonged to my husband when he was little. It's fun to pull a book out of the shelf that we know daddy once read during his childhood Easters!
The Legends of Easter Treasury- The Legend of the Easter Egg // The Legend of the Easter Robin // The Legend of the Sand Dollar (Christian, picture book)... I love all three of these stories, which you can find as standalones as well.
Precious Moments The Joy of Easter and The Wonder of Easter (Christian, picture book)... We enjoy both of them. Precious Moments was a part of my childhood and I still love the sweet illustrations to this day.
Rufus and Ryan Celebrate Easter (Christian, board book)... This one is a board book for the littlest Easter lovers and the series was a hit for our family during our board book days.
The Tale of the Three Trees (Christian, picture book)... I recommend this beautifully written book at both Christmas and Easter and you will see why once you read it! There is such a beautiful, powerful message in this book about three trees being cut down and turned into something powerful in the life of Jesus.
The Time of Easter by Suzanne Richterkessing (Christian, picture book)... Church mice explain the Lutheran practices surrounding Easter. Cute illustrations, informative in an understandable way.

Our beloved Easter books
Amon's Adventure... This family devotional also works well as a middle grade read and it made my Easter experience so awesome the year I read it!
The Berenstain Bears' Easter Sunday... My kids all adore the Berenstain Bears and enjoy this one every March/April!
The Easter Story... Just a simple book with the Easter story inside.
God Gave Us Easter... I love this series and I love the Easter version too!
The Golden Egg Book... This is a secular book that my husband held in his hands as a little kid. It isn't my very favorite story ever but I love it anyway because I love it so much that it's a family book!
The Legend of the Easter Egg... I adore these Legend books!
The Legend of the Easter Robin... I adore these Legend books!
The Legend of the Sand Dollar... I adore these Legend books!
Rufus and Ryan Celebrate Easter... This board book is probably in its last year around here until I have grandkids someday but it's been beloved.
The Tale of the Three Trees... This deeper picture book gets read at Christmas and Easter around here. I love it!
