In Benjamin's Box by Melody Carlson, young Benjamin embarks on a life-changing journey during the days leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Inspired by Jesus’ teachings, and with a gift from his grandfather, Benjamin creates a treasure box to hold meaningful items that tell the story of Easter. As he witnesses key events—from Palm Sunday to the empty tomb—Benjamin collects items like a nail, a piece of cloth, and a stone, each symbolizing a part of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection.
This poignant story, paired with vivid illustrations, brings the Easter story to life for young readers. Benjamin's Box beautifully connects children to the deeper meaning of Easter, emphasizing faith, hope, and the power of Jesus’ love.
Age guide: 3-12 years
