Discovering the True Meaning of Easter with Superbook
In the heart of Siberia, in the small city of Taiga in the Kemerovo region of Russia, a group of children gathered in April for an Easter event that would change how they saw the holiday—and perhaps even their lives.
Hosted at Jesus Christ Church, the event was called “Search for True Easter”, and it welcomed 40 children, many of whom came from non-believing families. For most of them, Easter was simply a time for baking cakes and boiling eggs—fun traditions, but without deeper meaning. That changed when they encountered the story of Jesus through the lens of Superbook.
With the help of Superbook’s engaging animation and the beloved character Gizmo, the children were introduced to the true heart of Easter: the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ and the power of his resurrection. Through storytelling, games, and joyful interaction, they learned that Easter is not just about traditions—it’s about hope, redemption, and the greatest gift ever given.
The presence of Gizmo, the friendly robot from Superbook, brought smiles and excitement to the room. His cheerful greetings and familiar face helped create a warm and welcoming environment where children felt safe to ask questions and explore faith in a new way.
This event was more than just a celebration—it was a seed planted in young hearts. For many of these children, it was their first time hearing the Gospel. And for the church, it was a powerful reminder of how God can use even a single episode of Superbook to open doors and transform lives.
Superbook continues to reach children across the globe, from bustling cities to remote towns like Taiga, sharing the timeless truths of the Bible in ways that are engaging, accessible, and unforgettable.
