On That Easter Morning
£9.99
This exquisitely illustrated retelling of the Easter story brings its familiar events to life.
Alison Jay has illustrated many books for children, and her beautiful paintings are instantly recognisable. Join the crowds cheering as Jesus enters Jerusalem, the disciples sharing a special meal, and Mary weeping outside the empty tomb. Rediscover the wonder of the first Easter morning.
There are many intriguing people, animals and landscapes to look at along the way, bursting with new details to find with a young child, as you share the story of that special morning.
Meet the author: Ms Alison Jay
Alison Jay graduated with a first-class degree in illustration from the London College of Printing. She worked in animation before moving on to children’s illustration. She is well known for her beautiful children’s books illustrations and has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway prize four times. She won the Transworld Children’s Book Award in the AOI Images Best of British illustration. Alison works in alkyd paint, which is a quick drying oil paint. Sometimes, she coats the illustration with layers of varnish to give the illustrations an aged crackled effect.
