When Jesus arrives in Jerusalem to teach people about God, he soon finds himself in trouble with the local officials. It may seem like the end for Jesus, but he knows his message will live forever.

Our Review

This gentle board book introduces young children to the Easter story through simple, accessible language and sturdy pages perfect for small hands. Russell Punter presents the key events of Jesus's final daysโ€”from his arrival in Jerusalem to his teachings and the conflict with officialsโ€”in a way that feels manageable for preschoolers. The narrative focuses on the core Christian message that Jesus's love and teachings would endure beyond his earthly life, making complex theological concepts approachable for the youngest listeners. This religious board book serves as a gentle first introduction to the biblical Easter narrative.

What distinguishes this Easter book for toddlers is its thoughtful balance between acknowledging the story's serious moments while maintaining an ultimately hopeful tone appropriate for young children. The compact board book format makes it ideal for Easter basket gifts or as part of family Easter traditions, while the straightforward storytelling provides a foundation for early faith formation. Parents seeking a simple, age-appropriate version of the Passion story will find this little book creates meaningful opportunities for discussing the Easter message with their curious preschoolers.
