#1 ECPA BESTSELLER • USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A delightful illustrated picture book for readers ages 3 and up, God Gave Us Easter features the adorable polar bear Little Cub, talking with her father and learning about God’s design for the Easter season and what it really means—part of the bestselling God Gave Us series, with more than 5 million books sold!

“God loved us so much he wanted us to always be with him too. That’s why God knew he’d need to give us Easter.”

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Little Cub is stunned to hear her father say that Easter is even better than Christmas. On a walk, Papa Bear uses an Easter egg, an uprooted tree, and evidence of new life in a pinecone to tell the Easter story: how Jesus was the root of Jesse who came to die and to rise again so that we would have the chance to go to heaven, where we will see Him face-to-face. Covering doctrines like sin, prayer, and heaven in simple language that children can understand, Bergren adds another lovely title to her “God Gave Us” series. Once again beautifully illustrated by Bryant in watercolors and colored pencil, the Arctic home of these polar bears seems warm and inviting, both indoors and out. This small volume will make a wonderful gift for Easter baskets as well as to put on library shelves. Preschool-Grade 1. --Melissa Moore

    I was born and raised in south Florida. I think I always enjoyed drawing and was fortunate to have a creative Mother and enthusiastic art teachers in school. I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore where I studied painting, printmaking and sculpture.

    In 1997, after many years of searching for the ultimate job, I finally set my sites on a career in children's books. Illustrating children's books has given me an endless supply of creative freedom and joy. i am grateful every day for the opportunity to express myself in the world of books.

Really nice book!
5 Stars
Really nice book!
I bought this book for my five-year-old's Easter basket and am really pleased with it! I was specifically looking for an Easter book that talks about the Christian messages behind Easter. Years ago I was given another book by this author/illustrator duo (God Gave Us The World) and I liked that one so I thought I'd take a chance on this one. And it did not disappoint!It is a long-ish book! So be prepared for that! But it has a really nice age-appropriate way of talking about the story behind Easter. Nothing scary or raising questions I wasn't quite ready to tackle. For my egg-hunt and chocolate-bunny-loving kids I felt like the message of this book was a nice redirect back to "center" without taking all the fun stuff out of the holiday.What's more, my in-laws came over later, saw the book and read it with the kids, then liked it so much they promptly went home and ordered a copy for themselves!

My husband and I got this book for our 6 year old & read it to her Easter night. Through out the book my husband said things like “wow that’s deep” or “that’s a good way to explain things!” I personally liked it for myself & it was a great way to understand things. Our daughter started asking questions during the book to get a better understanding. Great book. Highly recommend for getting our littles to understand & even adults!

I loved sharing this book with my toddler granddaughter. I was very impressed with how this story was written. Very touching and appropriate for sharing the true meaning of Easter while still including traditions of many families. I recommend buying this book now so it will be on hand for every year's Easter celebrations.

My son loves this book. We have read it a bunch and if you are religious, it's a good book to discuss the Christian meaning of Easter with your child. It looks at Easter in a way that is accessible to a child, and it does discuss death, new life, and the resurrection in a not scary way. It is a new favorite Easter read.

Such a wonderful story. Sent as a gift for 2yo. Read to other age kids upto 10 yo, & thoroughly enjoyed. The sentiment is Jesus died because he loves us. It's good to give little ones some meaning to Easter that they can identify with.
If you are looking for the Easter story, this isn't the book for you. But I do recommend it.
