The Story of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. If there was only one story we could pass down to our children – it would be this one.
We’ve hand-picked our favourite Children’s books & DVD’s that explain the Easter story with clarity, sensitivity and a good sprinkling of creativity. We hope these help you to explain the Christian message at Easter to your children.
