![]() Rise: A Child’s Guide to Eastertide by Laura Alary was a joy to read. Written in lyrical prose, it explores two realities, the Easter Story that happened when Jesus died and the Easter Story we live today. She gives the reader space to look and learn and wonder. The book is separated into five chapters: In the Garden, At the Table, One the Beach, In Everything, and Easter People. Each one explores the theme in a way that is both profound and easily understood. Her book is gentle, like a hug, but it’s powerful, too. It gives the big picture of Easter by comparing Bible stories to modern scenes. The illustrations are beautiful, soft, almost dreamlike. What a wonderful addition to the Circle of Wonder series. I am thankful and honored I was given a free digital copy of this book to write a review.
