Book Reviews of God Gave Us You
Book Review: Beautifully Written
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You by Lisa Tawn Bergren is a beautifully illustrated children's book that answers the question, "Where did I come from?" The answer, of course, is the reassurance that "God gave us you."
This is a delightful story featuring and adorable polar bear cub and his mother. The mother bear explains how delighted she and Papa were when they discovered the baby was growing inside her. Mama tells of Papa talking and singing to the cub in her belly and how excited they were to hear the cubs heartbeat. She tells the cub how she prayed for a healthy cub that would love God. Throughout the story, the Mama reiterates the answer that "God gave us you" to all of the little cubs questions. In the end, little cub feels happy and safe because, "God had given her--little her--to Mama and Papa."
The book features beautiful artwork by Laura J. Bryant in soft, comforting hues of blue and white. The illustrations feature not only the polar bears, but other arctic animals. The pictures are very enticing, especially to little ones.
Reading this book, I felt very comforted by the words on the page. It has a soft, easy flow and my little ones enjoyed snuggling into me as I read words that seemed to come straight from my own heart for my children. This will be a book that we will read over and over.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from Blogging for Books for review purposes. My review contains my honest opinions.
Summary of God Gave Us You
When a charming polar bear cub climbs into bed one night, she asks her Mama a very important question--one that little "human cubs" often wonder about, too: "Where did I come from?"As Mama bear tucks her youngest cub under the quilts, she gently, tenderly, and reassuringly communicates the message loving parents everywhere (bears and non-bears alike) want their little ones to hear: "We wanted you very, very much, and we are so very glad because--"God gave us you."
Perfect for bedtime, naptime, storytime or anytime, God Gave Us You provides a valuable opportunity to build children's self-esteem every day and assure each one that he or she truly is a welcomed, precious, and treasured gift from the Lord.
