Easter Day Bestseller: How One Boy Met Jesus

Easter is the holiest day in the Christian calendar - when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, according to the Bible. Followers believe when they die, they will see Jesus. But one 11-year-old boy from Nebraska doesn't have to wait. Colton Burpo says he met the Son of God eight years ago when the boy almost died from a burst appendix. His father, Todd, chronicles it all in the book, "Heaven is for Real," a New York Times paperback bestseller. CNN's Don Lemon spoke with Todd and Colton, who describes what Jesus was like.
