Religious Reads


Beyond the bunny and the baskets, take time this Lent and Easter to teach your child the real reason behind the season. Oftentimes we get too wrapped up in the commercialized side of things and forget to share with our children the history of the holidays we celebrate here in the United States. Even if you are not religious taking time to share this with our children is educational and important. For many of us reading these simple children’s Easter books with our kids is a great way to explain the origins of Easter and the beliefs of our own religions.
