The Legend of the Easter Robin (Review & Giveway)
Easter is coming soon. My kids are so excited about spring, and getting to be outside for even fifteen minutes on a rare sunny and warm winter day has all of our hopes up about what will come soon.
The story of Easter is sometimes hard to share. I’m not sure why I struggle to tell my little ones the details of Jesus’s death, but I do. I suppose there’s a piece of me that really wants to shelter them from thinking anyone could ever be treated so cruelly. And it’s difficult to explain the why.
In the new book, The Legend of the Easter Robin, I had some assistance in talking about the crucifixion with my children. The author takes an otherwise very frightening portion of the Easter story and helps explain to my children in a reassuring way.
Using the Pennsylvania Dutch legend explaining why the robin has a red breast, the story of Tressa and the robin’s eggs kept my boys’ attention. They asked questions about the precious new eggs that were seemingly laid too soon. They were curious about the robin who watched as Jesus carried his cross through the streets. And they were interested in the surprise of the cracked eggs at the end of the story.

I love going to church and then having a family lunch on Easter Sunday.
We make a big weekend of it…doing something special on Good Friday, coloring eggs, church on Sunday followed by a big family dinner.
So wonderful, when we’re struggling with age appropriate explanations, to be able to turn to books.
My girls love to go and get pretty dresses every Easter although my son isn’t so happy about getting a new outfit for church.
