Book Synopsis



'Twas the Season of Lent is a 40-day devotional and storybook that explores the life, words, and works of Jesus and encourages families to draw closer to God during the Lenten Season. From beloved author Glenys Nellist, this book focused on Jesus's mission to the least, the lost, and the lonely, with each story and accompanying prayer prompt encouraging children to try to be more like Jesus and to do what God calls them to.

Written in both prose and poetry, this gorgeous picture book shares the true story of the days leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. The read-aloud rhymes and stunning illustrations by Elena Selivanova make this a perfect read for the whole family during the Lenten season. With an eye-catching cover decorated in shining foil and embossing, this book is designed to be a treasured tradition for families and church ministries for the Lenten season for years to come.

'Twas the season of Lent, when for forty whole days

The people were trying to think of new ways

To be more like Jesus--to love, care, and give,

In hopes that they'd choose the right way to live.

'Twas the Season of Lent:

  • Is written by Glenys Nellist, author of the beloved The Wonder That Is You, and the Snuggle Time and Love Letters from God series
  • Is told in the lyrical style of Clement Moore's iconic poem--"'Twas the Night before Christmas"
  • Explores what the season of Lent is all about and how we can draw closer to God during this time
  • Features a familiar rhythm and rhyme that children ages 4-8 will love
  • Brings to life the story of Jesus's ministry and the days leading up to his death and resurrection through Elena Selivanova's beautiful, rich illustrations
  • Is the perfect way for adults to share the powerful meaning of the Lenten season with the little ones in their lives leading up to the Easter holiday

Get Ready!

Come on an adventure called, "Lent." It takes place during the forty days leading up to Easter, and is a time to think about the sacrifice and teachings of Jesus. It is an occasion to get ready for Easter. This very readable book is a great way to explore Lent with young ones. Whether it is the first time observing it, or something that has been done before, this book will add to the Easter season. There are forty kid friendly entries, one for every day of Lent. Each narrative is attention-grabbing, and there is also a simple prayer that is only a line or two long. Rhyming verse is sprinkled throughout the book, along with lovely pictures that illustrate the different points of the story. This picture book is written for children, so it is definitely something that little ones will enjoy, as well as, learn what Easter is about. This is a wonderful way to get the entire family involved by gathering together. Then an adult or older child can read an entry out loud. Natural discussion of what things mean will easily follow. These times can be simple, or more involved, as wanted. This five-star book will be enjoyed by ages four through ten-years old, remembering that the younger ones will need to be read to. Thank you, Zonderkidz, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.

Excellent!

I've been a huge fan of this author's children's books, as have my boys. For Advent, we use her 'Twas the Season of Advent devotional each day. So, when I learned she had a Lenten/Easter book releasing, I was thrilled! With 40 days of devotionals, beginning on Ash Wednesday and going through Easter Monday or so, this book takes readers---families/children---through the Gospels and Jesus' story leading up to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. I'm excited to work though this book with our family this Easter season. I highly recommend you check out these books, too. *I both purchased and received a complimentary copy of this book. No positive review required. Opinions my own.

Great Lenten devotional for all ages-perfect for families!

Have you always wished there was a Lenten devotional text your kids could use or that you could read and discuss together as a family? THIS is the picture book you've been waiting for! It takes readers on a journey through scripture and the life of Christ with an emphasis on God's presence and love and the lessons Christ taught about Godly living. Each day has a beautiful image, a scripture lesson, a brief devotion about the scripture and common Lenten practices, and a prayer. Readers of all ages will benefit from this beautifully written and inspiring text! Glenys Nellist does a particularly outstanding job handling the death of Christ on Good Friday---it is brief and not graphic, simply mournful, so perfect for the younger readers in your life! Don't hesitate---order it now!

Beautiful Lenten resource for families

Great book for starting discussions during the days of Lent. Uses poetry, devotions, brief scripture references, and a short prayer to engage children in meaningful conversation. Beautiful illustrations as well. Great gift and perfect title for church libraries.

Great for a range of ages

Nellist provides a wonderful guide for preparing youngsters for Easter. She presents simple concepts for littles while offering Bible stories in greater detail for older children. Her focus on love, kindness, and inclusion for all remind the adults reading the book to model these virtues regularly. Selivanova's illustrations are lovely.
