SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Filled with playful, winsome illustrations by an artist who specializes in polar bear images, this four-color, read-to-me picture book will build children’s self-esteem through the tale of a mama bear who reassuringly explains where her cub came from and affirms Mama and Papa’s great love for her.
And now, Our Review:
God Gave Us You is the first of a series of books that all begin God Gave Us… Designed to answer those first “Where did I come from” questions, this illustrated story for pre-schoolers lets a child know that they not only have a heavenly father, but that they are loved and wanted by their earthly parents. Set in an easy to understand question and answer format, Mama Bear patiently answers each question. Grandparents take note, the book makes a wonderful baby shower gift or a birthday present for a three-year-old. It’s a story youngster never tire of hearing. Strongly recommended.
