Books are my go-to for Easter. I love to give them something special, but I like to keep it simple and focused on what we’re celebrating. Here are several ideas for kids of all ages for gifting books this Easter.

Bibles + Devotionals:

Easter is probably the most appropriate holiday to gift Bibles to kids, so here are some of my favorites for a variety of ages.

• The Jesus Storybook Bible (suggested ages 4-8) – this is my absolute favorite children’s Bible! Each story ties back to Jesus, weaving a beautiful narrative of the gospel. (Also available in a special Gift Edition.)
• Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing (suggested ages 6-10) – 101 devotional style snippets by the same author as The Jesus Storybook Bible.
• The Action Bible (suggested ages 9-11) – It’s a comic style Bible with 215 separate stories in chronological order. We’re using this one for our boys right now, even though it’s rated for slightly older. (Also available: The Action Storybook Bible for younger kids and a devotional.)
• The Biggest Story: How the Snake Crusher Brings Us Back to the Garden (suggested ages 5-12) – Colorful illustrations and a weaving narrative help tell the story of the whole Bible. Suggested for 5-8 for reading to kids and 8-12 for reading on their own.
• Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions For Kids (suggested ages 8-12) – 365 devotional for older kids. This has also been recommended to me several times.
• CSB Kids Bible, Hardcover (suggested ages 7-12) – This is a full Bible with colorful “extras” to help kids dive deeper into sections of the Bible. The type is large enough to make it easier for kids to read the Bible themselves, and at the end of passages, there are cross-references to help kids dig in and study for themselves. Jesus’ words appear in red. I really like the look and readability of this Bible! (I received this Bible for free from the publisher.)
