Ideals Books is a wonderful company that we order from every Christmas. I was so excited when I got the opportunity to review 2 of their amazing Easter Books. The first Here Comes Peter Cottontail even has sound. My kids love pushing the button and hearing the Here Comes Peter Cottontail music. The second is The Sparkle Egg; most of you probably remember the Sparkle Box from Christmas this is the Easter variation. It is an amazingly touching book. The synopsis is below:
The Sparkle Egg:
Easter is coming, and Sam loves Easter! But this year, he is upset about a lie he told his parents. Even though he apologized and they forgave him, Sam can't shake the feeling that he is a bad kid for what he did. Meanwhile, his parents help him make a special Easter craft called a Sparkle Egg. His mom tells him to write anything he feels sorry about or ashamed of on a piece of paper and put it inside his Sparkle Egg.
On Easter morning, when he opens his Sparkle Egg expecting a surprise, Sam finds that it is empty! His parents explain that because Jesus died and rose again, we are forgiven. Like the tomb that first Easter Day, Sam's egg is empty -- and Sam's wrongdoing is completely forgiven. Once he accepts this forgiveness fully, Sam realizes a truth: we can sparkle and shine with God's light when we let God's gift of grace into our hearts.
This touching story will strike a deep chord with readers of all ages, and the Sparkle Egg tradition will help readers and their families grasp the totality of God's perfect grace. Ages 4-8.
