Of Easter Eggs and Things
by Nan Holcomb
Six year old Ryan enjoys coloring Easter eggs, but has trouble understanding how eggs or bunnies or flowers have anything to do with what he is hearing about Jesus and Easter. A trip to Cackleberry Farm helps him see how new life can spring from bulbs and what look like lifeless eggs. A delightful story that gets to the heart of the Mystery of Easter at a Pre-K to 2nd grade level.
