This little book is a gem for all who are interested in nurturing children’s spirituality. One can’t get to Easter without going through Good Friday. But how can Good Friday be presented to small children in a way that is theologically sound and age appropriate? Amelia Richardson Dress has accomplished this in simple, straight-forward language accompanied by lovely illustrations. She reminds us that “This [Good Friday] is not the end of the story,” and it’s a good reminder for adults, as well. I recommend this book for anyone sharing the Easter story. This is a beautiful retelling of the Easter story. I love how it really explains events in an easy way for children to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. This book is very well done. I appreciate the accessible theology and beautiful illustrations. Great work! I love the way this book focuses on what Jesus focused on – love! This book tackles some enormous ideas (crucifixion and resurrection) in a way that is targeted at children, but stays true to the ideals that adults still struggle with. This book is amazing! It tells the Easter story in the most “love-filled way!” It is the BEST book about Easter I have found for children! It captures the message of Easter without trauma and without making it “childish.” LOVE this book so much!
