As we discussed in last week’s Bookish Question, I’m not the best person to ask about Easter-themed books. I couldn’t think of any novels with Easter as a key time setting or plot point.
This leaves non-fiction: the original Easter stories in the four gospels, and their derivatives. I’m sure everyone knows various children’s versions of the Easter story, either those you read as a child or those you read your children.
The one I remember best was a book I was awarded from Bible in Schools when I was in primary school. It was a cartoon version of the life of Jesus, a great choice for a child who came from a non-Christian home and first heard the gospel from dedicated Bible in Schools teachers whose names I don’t remember. God bless you, ladies. So I guess that’s the Easter-themed book that has inspired and influenced me more than any other.
