We love reading as a family so it won’t come as a surprise that I have some favorite Christ-Centered Books for Easter.
We also enjoy using books to help our kids process the values and beliefs we are teaching them. In the midst of it we also read for fun as a family we just finished the Hobbit with our kids and next on our list is a Wrinkle in Time.
