About Easter
Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox, typically falling between late March and late April.
The holiday has both religious and cultural significance worldwide. For Christians, it marks the culmination of Holy Week, commemorating Jesus's crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection three days later, which is central to Christian faith.
Easter is also celebrated with various customs that have evolved over centuries. These include Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, special meals, and the giving of Easter baskets filled with treats. Many of these traditions have roots in pre-Christian spring fertility celebrations that were later incorporated into Easter celebrations.
Around the world, diverse Easter traditions exist, from the Ukrainian art of decorating pysanky (elaborately decorated eggs) to the practice of greeting the Easter sunrise in the British Isles, all of which are touched upon in this Little Golden Book.
Brand History
Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.
Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.
Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.
Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.
Celebrity Biographies: Film and television have been particularly popular. Over the years Hopalong Cassidy, Cheyenne, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Captain Kangaroo, Mister Rogers, and Donny and Marie Osmond have appeared in Little Golden Books. The line has also published occasional biographies; recent examples include Betty White, Dolly Parton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Publishing History
Original Partnership: The series started with publishing firm Simon & Schuster; Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin was Simon & Schuster's partner in the Little Golden Books venture, with Western handling print operations. Ownership and control of the series have changed several times since; today, Penguin Random House is its current publisher.
Consistent Quality: Despite the changes of detail that occurred over the years, the Little Golden Books maintains a distinctive appearance. A copy of The Poky Little Puppy bought today is essentially the same as one printed in 1942. Both are readily recognizable as Little Golden Books. At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold.
