The biblical Easter story, told in a modern and child-friendly way by Margot Kässmann. Perfect for reading aloud to children aged 5 and up. Beautifully illustrated by Stefanie Scharnberg. What exactly happened at Easter? What is the significance of the resurrection of Jesus? And why do people still remember it today? Do you also find it difficult to answer these questions for your children? Margot Kässmann narrates the Easter story in today's language from an unusual perspective: that of a little girl. Young Rebekah experiences the dramatic time when Jesus comes to Jerusalem shortly before his death. Her parents are among his followers. Thus, she follows her mother to the tomb on Easter morning and witnesses the resurrection of Jesus. Through Margot Kässmann's storytelling, even the complicated aspects of the Easter story become understandable for the youngest – and for us adults as well.
