An Angel and A Dove at Easter

How does a parent explain Easter to a youngster?   By  introducing them to an angel and a dove. These two characters, coupled with charming watercolors,  help author Sophie Piper and illustrator Kristina Stephenson achieve their goal of sharing the significance of this holiday to  pre-school and kindergarten-aged children.  In  The Angel and The Dove: A Story For Easter ($12.99, Lion Children’s, an imprint of Lion UK, distributed by Trafalgar Square Publishing from Independent Publishers Group) little ones learn about  life, rebirth and the return of Jesus on  a miraculous spring day.

Through beautiful imagery of butterflies, flowers, new baby chicks  and changing weather, along with sensitive text, parents can show their children that with every ending comes a new beginning and the very first Easter.
