Summary

One of the most enjoyable aspects of happy family occasions is the practice of reading aloud to one's children. And when the stories have a deliberate goal of clearly communicating the gospel or setting the stage for such communication, the benefit of family reading is multiplied.

That is the purpose of Once upon an Easter. It is designed to be used in the weeks and days leading up to the celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its goal is to create the climate in which parents can lead children to saving faith in Christ.

Stories include the following tales: "The Big Parade", "The Special Meal", "Jenny's Hen", "David's Discovery" and "Easter Cookies".

Throughout the book are several captivating, full-color illustrations by award-winning artist Edward Gazsi.
