Synopsis
That Grand Easter Day! is a cumulative story that begins with the stone in front of the tomb and ends with a new beginning—the Resurrection of Christ. The lively narrative builds as it progresses, adding people, objects, and animals that may have witnessed the events of that day long ago. Little ones will love the repetition, which adds a pleasing level of predictability and helps to make the story of the first Easter more memorable. The upbeat, reverent story is accompanied by luminous illustrations which bring the story to life. This engaging picture book will be a read-aloud favorite at Eastertime and throughout the year.

Review
Bookended by quotations from the Gospel of John, this Easter tale uses cumulative verse to recount the buildup to and aftermath of the resurrection of Jesus. Lord sneaks in a few lighthearted moments -- a rabbit munches on a flower nearby, and the tomb is guarded by a man 'quite grumpy with gloom' who later flees 'with a zoom' after being startled by an angel. But by and large, the emphasis is on the miracle and its ramifications: 'This is Jesus Christ,/ who gives life anew,/ who rose up on Easter/ for me and for you!/ He left the tomb empty,/ just linens as clues/ found by disciples/ who'd heard the good news.' Trunfio's cinematic cartoons contrast deep violet shades with bright, golden sunlight, visually underscoring the sadness of the opening scenes with the blinding light of the angel's appearance and the subsequent joy among Jesus's disciples. Ages 4-7. (Feb.) --Publishers Weekly
