A special thanks to LifeWay for sending a complimentary copy of Tama Fortner’s book, Easter is Coming.
Easter is Coming is a cute and adorable board book perfect for
teaching little ones the importance of Easter. I really appreciated that
Fortner chose to not start her book immediately with the Cross but, rather, begin
with the Fall of man. In this way children understand the very real need of a
Savior. The repetitive “Easter is coming!” on each page will encourage kids to
participate in the retelling of this most important narrative and the bright
and colorful illustrations of Wazza Pink will hold their attention as each turn
of the page brings new pictures.
While only twenty-four pages,
Fortner does an excellent job emphasizing the meaning of Easter and why Jesus came.
Often times, I feel as if children’s books neglect including why humanity needs a Savior. I am so
glad Fortner communicated this need and did so in such a way that little ones
can comprehend and can thus participate in the anticipation and excitement of
Resurrection Sunday. This would make a wonderful baby shower gift or an
addition to an Easter basket!
