[Joel Berrocal]

This book is beautifully illustrated for children and begins with Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, when palm branches were laid before Him. It then moves through His arrest on Holy Thursday and His crucifixion on Good Friday, concluding with His Resurrection and the fulfillment of prophecy. Highly recommended for any parent looking to teach their children the faith.

[Clwseattle]

On That Easter Morning is gently written with the tender ages of its audience in mind. The parts that might be difficult to hear are softened by the illustrations.

This was a good Easter story with eye-catching illustrations. My kids liked it and asked lots of questions.
