The Morning Jesus Was Alive

The Easter story, told gently enough for the very young.

On Friday afternoon the sky went dark, and His friends walked home crying.

On Sunday, very early, while it was still dark, the women came to the garden with their spices, and the big stone was already rolled away. “Jesus is not here! He has risen!”

Along the way, Gili, a rooster with one floppy point in his comb, asks your child a question, so the story becomes a conversation instead of a monologue.

Gentle by design. The cross appears only once, far away in silhouette against a dark sky. The book says plainly that Jesus died, because Easter morning means nothing without it, but the dark page is one page and the light after it is long.
