Annie has a great book titled The Easter Story that I brought out last week. It is a little board book that she got as a gift last year (thanks, Oma and Opa!)
She wasn't too interested in it until I read it through once and showed her Jesus on each page. Now she brings it to me and says "Deezus!" and we read it. The amazing thing is, she'll sit there while I read ALL the words, beginning to end. Most of her books we don't really "read" anymore--we just point to pictures and she tells us what things are. This one, though, she wants to hear again and again. It is so nice to read it to her and know that some way, somehow, the importance of it all is sinking in. And how sweet to hear her say "Deezus!!!" on the page when he appears to his disciples. Almost like she understands what a miracle it was...
It is a great book with a simple vocabulary and a clear message. Buy it on Amazon by clicking here. We highly recommend board books from Candy Cane Press--easy to read and understand. They also make a great version of the Christmas story. Happy reading!
