Great book for easter

Great book
A Resurrection Story Benjamin's Box
Story Melody Carlson

Excellent book Can use with the resurrection eggs we bought those a couple of years ago we just discovered the book.
Really tells the story of jesus's death and resurrection. using symbols such as the cup and nail etc.
Great tool for helping them understand.
