Non-Fiction

The Little Witch’s Spring Holiday Book (1983)

This is part of the Little Witch Craft Books series. Most of the activities are Easter-based, but it also has a few for Passover (including a recipe for Matzohs) and May Day. It’s one of the books in the series that seems a little odd, combining a witch character with non-Halloween holidays, but I do like some of the recipes, and there are some interesting craft and game ideas. Available on Internet Archive.

Prayers at Eastertime

A cute picture book with prayers for different occasions, although some are specifically for spring and Easter.
