Since it's Holy Week I thought I'd share a list of my favorite Easter stories for children. While many of them are religious, a few are those sweet traditional tales with a really nice message and good strong characters. Here they are (in no particular order):
1. The Egg Tree
A wonderful Easter classic capturing the thrill of Easter morning rich with tradition. I love the idea of gathering a community to share the tradition of the egg tree.

2. Petook
I pretty much adore anything involving Tomie DePaola--this book is no exception! It's a unique Easter story told from the perspective of a rooster. It poignantly captures the sorrow of Good Friday as well as the joy of Easter morning.

3. The Story of the Easter Robin
This is beautiful story of compassion and faith. It's the tale of a little girl concerned over the safety of a robin's nest, which makes for a lovely lesson of God's provision and protection.

4. The Parable of the Lily
A wonderful story capturing awe of the miracle of life told through the story of a little girl and a surprising gift she receives.

5. Easter Family Treasury
This book is great because it includes many different aspects of the Easter and Lent; the sorrow of Good Friday, the waiting of Lent, the Springing up of new life and the joy of Easter Resurrection. It's a compilation of poems and stories with beautiful illustrations.

6. The Tale of Three Trees
I love this story of the three trees and their dreams of what they might grow up to be. A beautiful Easter classic!

10. The Country Bunny and the little Gold Shoes
This one isn't a religious story, but is rich with Christian virtues of perseverance, kindness and wisdom. A lovely classic!
