We love books at our house and in our ministry, especially in the nursery and preschool classrooms! And while we’ve shared about some of our favorite faith-focused Easter books in the past, this week, we’re sharing about (and giving away) a brand new Easter book the littles in your ministry will love!
I’m always on the lookout for engaging, theologically rich resources that make learning about Jesus fun for kids—and R is for Risen is exactly that! This beautifully illustrated alphabet book walks children through key themes and events of the Easter story using simple yet meaningful rhymes that reinforce biblical truth.
Each letter introduces an event or element from the Easter story, making it a perfect tool for families, Sunday school classes, and even preschool ministries. But rather than just randomly talking about faith themes, this book goes chronologically through the Easter story, starting with Palm Sunday when Jesus Arrived in Jerusalem and ending with how Jesus is alive today for You and how He is our A to Z, our beginning and our end. Following the alphabet letter by letter, kids experience the story of Easter and watch it unfold.
And each letter includes relevant Bible verses families can use to go deeper into the story. I can even see how families might use this book as a Lent or Easter devotion, going through a letter and its Bible verse each day!
I especially love how this book doesn’t shy away from big truths but presents them in a way that’s both accessible and memorable for young hearts and minds. It gives a simple but profound message of the gospel and how Jesus is our Savior. Whether you’re reading it as a bedtime story or using it to spark deeper conversations about Easter and the gospel in a ministry setting, R is for Risen is a valuable addition to any children’s ministry library or church preschool room.
If you’re looking for a creative way to help kids grasp the beauty of Jesus’ death and resurrection—one letter at a time—this book is a must-have!
