The origin of our Easter celebration. Who today still knows exactly what Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter are all about?

A framing story introduces children to this tale of Christ's death and resurrection, providing an idea at the end of what these events can mean for us today. The author stays close to the Bible and to the children, presenting an extraordinary Easter narrative, vividly and symbolically illustrated by Renate Seelig. Suitable for ages 5 and up.
