God Gave Us You is a richly illustrated board book with artwork
that depicts the tenderness between parents and their baby. This
book is just the right size for small hands. Its sentiment is
comforting and clearly stated for a child to understand.
As mother bear is tucking her little cub into bed one night, she is
asked the question most children ask at some time, "Where did I
come from?" Mother Bear answers, "From God", and then goes into
just enough detail to settle the question without it being
information overload.
The author's approach in how she has mother bear answer that age
old question is both satisfying to a young mind and assurance of
being loved. The mother talks about her pregnancy in a comforting
way and shows the eager anticipation she had for her baby's
arrival. "Every night I prayed for you, my special child."
The oft repeated line, "God gave us you", is early encouragement
that the child's life is known by God who loves her.
This is such a lovely book that a very young child can enjoy. It
would be a thoughtful addition to a baby shower gift.
