Jackson Loves Easter
Illustrations by Katie McDee
It is Easter! The sun is shining. Jackson is happy.
Jackson loves Easter because he gets to see his family and collect Easter eggs.
Jackson loves Easter because he gets to go to church and sing in Primary.
Most of all, Jackson loves Easter because it reminds him of Jesus. Jesus gave us the sun. Jesus gave us our family. Jesus gave us the Church. Jesus died on the cross so we can live with our Heavenly Parents again one day. He loves us!
Jackson is thankful that Jesus gave us so many wonderful things!
