God Gave Us Easter

Little Cub is a young polar bear with a lot of questions, and with Easter on the way she has one big one: what is this day really about? She takes it to her papa, and he answers her as they walk together through the snowy Arctic.

Papa explains how God cares for his children and how Easter fits into his plan for being close to them. He keeps his words plain and gentle, so even very small listeners can follow along. Along the way, the icy landscape around the two bears gives the story a bright, wintry backdrop.

The book is part of Lisa Tawn Bergren's God Gave Us series, which uses animal families to talk with young children about faith and big questions. This one suits parents and children who want a warm, simple way to share the meaning of the Easter season at home.
