God Gave Us You

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.

This is one of my daughter's favorite books. We gave it to her when she was born and now she enjoys reading it to herself.

Not only is this my 7 year olds favorite story, it's mine. Katherine and I have now given 8 of this title to new parents in hopes that they will cherish it as much as we have. God bless the children.
