Now that I have children of my own, I love taking every opportunity to read to them during specific holidays or events, to learn more about it. Easter is one of my favorite times to read these Christian Easter board books!

Each book offers something unique and exciting to my children’s little brains. Easter has so many unique things to focus on: the branches on Palm Sunday, the angel at the resurrection of Jesus, or how the news of the gospel message spread!

As you check out these Christian Easter board books, you’ll discover as well as how each book brings a unique perspective to the Easter story. I love pulling these books out each year because even I am reminded of interesting details during the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Reading a variety of books helps my children truly grasp the depth of the Easter holiday. I think our culture tends to focus so much on Christmas and the birth of Jesus, yet Easter is often downplayed. But isn’t Easter more important, in a sense? If Jesus didn’t die and resurrect from the dead, there wouldn’t even be a story worth sharing!

I would encourage you to invest in the Easter season just as much, if not more than you invest in the Easter season. It’s something I challenge myself with each year. And these Christian Easter board books will help you do just that!

Let’s check them out…

1. Humphrey’s First Palm Sunday by Carol Heyer

This book follows the book, Humphrey’s First Christmas. Humphrey, the camel, remembers when Jesus was born and now gets to see Him enter the city for Palm Sunday. It is a cute book that also wonderfully illustrates the importance of Palm Sunday and why we celebrate it as Christians!

2. The Legend of the Easter Robin: An Easter Story of Compassion and Faith by Dandi Daley Mackall

Perhaps you have some of the author’s other “Legend of” books, especially the Christmas time ones. They are wonderful books because they show you the true meaning behind holidays, events, and people in history. This is another book that shows your children truly why Easter matters.

Instead of focusing on the Easter bunny, instead, use this book to focus on the Easter robin. A robin instead reminds us of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. This is one of the Christian Easter board books I recommend for families to read together each year to keep their perspective in focus!

3. God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren

This book is part of the delightful “God Gave Us Series” that follows a polar bear family. This book is about a father honestly answering his cub’s questions on Easter! If you get “why” questions from your young children, this is a great book to add to your collection and read throughout the Easter season.

4. Bunny’s First Spring by Sally Lloyd-Jones

If you have The Jesus Storybook Bible on your shelf then you may be familiar with this book as well, since they are by the same author! This book focuses on a bunny who sees the world changing around him in springtime. But also, the Easter season! If you want an Easter book that also ties in bunnies, nature, and springtime, then this is the one for you!

5. The Parable of the Lily by Liz Curtis Higgs

I’ve seen this book added to several Easter baskets before. You can also get the other books in the series for each season of life – summer, fall, and Christmas. Each book focuses on a biblical character trait. I love that this book not just focuses on the reason behind Easter, but also teaches patience, grace, and generosity.

It is a delightful book to keep your children focused on Easter, and the changing earth in springtime, while pointing them to Jesus!

6. What Is Easter? by Michelle Medlock Adams

This is one of the Christian Easter board books that is perfect for the youngest members of your family! I love that it is so to the point, from the title being “What is Easter?” to answering it in the book. Yet, it is joyful and fun to read! The rhyming structure also makes it memorable for your child!

7. Easter Is Coming! by Tama Fortner

The anticipation of Easter is something I don’t want our family to lose. In Christmastime, we have the 25 days of Advent, which is a great anticipation for Christmas Day. Yet, Easter can easily not be as anticipated. The anticipation is what brings even more joy when Easter Sunday arrives! This book brings that anticipation back to life.

8. Jesus Rose for Me: The True Story of Easter by Jared Kennedy

I love that this board book covers everything about Easter and goes deeper than just facts. It’s about truly changing your child’s heart so they can know what Jesus did for them, not just when and how He did it. So often children are told that Jesus died for them, but how about we start telling them that Jesus rose for them too? It is part of The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible series.

9. The First Easter Day by Jill Roman Lord

I love that this book sparks your child’s imagination as they wonder what it would be like to be there when Jesus rose from the grave. His resurrection sure must have been a sight to behold and reading Christian Easter board books like this one ignites those thoughts in our children.

Check it out on Amazon here!

10. The Quiet/Crazy Easter Day by Jill Roman Lord

This is another adorable board book on what Easter Day might have been like. What were the sounds of the day? What were the animals doing? It brings the Easter story down to a young child’s level as they think about the miraculous things Jesus did for them! This is such a cute and fun book to read together.

11. Holy Week: An Emotions Primer by Danielle Hitchen

I love the board book Baby Believer series and we own all of them! They each bring something important for the child to learn, like colors, numbers, letters, or emotions (like this book), and tie them to biblical truths! This book so easily explains Easter through the various emotions that must have been felt throughout the story, by various people!
