Not quite ready for death?

We are contemplating waiting on the Easter story until next year... The other night we read from Elsa's storybook bible about Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper, when Jesus told his friends that he had to die. In her bible it says that his heart had to break in two so that ours could be healed. Elsa was pretty disturbed by this. She said, gravely, "He should not die. He should put himself back together." We tried to explain that he would put himself back together, but she kept saying over and over, "He should not die. He does not want to die." She tends to get fixated on things and then she can't hear the rest of the story... like when we were reading about Zacheas, who is standing on a stool when he's talking to Jesus in the picture, and Elsa said about 50 times: "He should get down from there. Jesus should take him down." (The next day she said, "Let's see what's goin' on with Zacheas.") So... I think for this year, Jesus is not going to get up on that cross. We only have to skip two stories in Elsa's bible, I think. : )
