Review By JENNIFER KALI
What Is Easter?
Religious families will appreciate a book that plainly and simply describes the meaning of Easter in a fun manner. Jesus’ death and resurrection are described in a happy tone which makes the spirit of the holiday joyful, unlike some other Easter stories. Families may be concerned that death is mentioned, which may spark difficult conversations.
Vegan families will appreciate that the eggs mentioned are plastic eggs filled with candy (though jelly beans are mentioned, which are likely not vegan). Families concerned about animal welfare will be concerned that buying chicks is described as part of the traditional Easter celebration.
Ages 2-6.

This is great! As a vegan, Christian family, this book sounds like it will fit in nicely to our library. Thank you.

Sounds like the book is informative. I was looking for such book so that my children can understand the real meaning of Easter.

Interesting comments. I was actually going the other way with this one. I liked the book but don’t like the idea of buying baby chicks as an Easter gift, so we got rid of it.
