April Picture Books

April is a time to celebrate new life: through the seedlings sprouting in your garden, the ducklings hatching at the pond, and most importantly, through the new life Jesus secured for us who believe through his death and resurrection. This month, we'll be reading some spring-time classics (about gardens, birds, and rain) you won't want to miss. We'll learn about the very first Passover and read a story about Jesus and the forgiveness He offers. You'll also find several multicultural books from India, China, and Africa. I hope you'll join us for a wonderful month of reading!
