(Disclosure: I received this book in order to facilitate my review. All opinions shared are my own.)
With Easter coming, I am sure everyone is getting baskets ready, and all the eggs and dye to color the eggs. Dinner parties and get togethers are being planned. Be sure to take the time to remember why Easter is celebrated. The Sparkle Egg is a great book to read to your children about Jesus and has a great tradition inside of it that you can start with your own family. I love how the illustrator made the characters look real and not cartoon-like in this story. This book has a great value lesson being taught inside of it. My three children have read this book over and over again and it is a book I see staying until they are adults. As I was reading it, I was even touched by it. So, it is not a book just for children, it's for families.
About 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 tehy 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.
