Book Review:: God Gave Us You


I really thought we had this book already but after I read the other book (God Gave Us Love) by Lisa Tawn Bergren I went to find it to read to baby. WE DIDN'T HAVE IT!So I went to WaterBrook Multnomah and requested it for our next review book. I couldn't just read one and not the other. I am so incredibly glad I did. This is one you want on the nursery library shelf or in the box of toddler books. It is really cute!!


Little Cub has many questions (what little kid doesn't?) for her Mama while getting ready for bed one night.  Little Cub poses the question that is sometimes dreaded by many a parent: "Where did I come from?" Yes, that question that can stop parents dead in their tracks, especially coming at such a young age. But Mama does a beautiful job explaining it. Mama Bear answers with "God gave us you". She progresses through wanting Little Cub all the way through birth answering Little Cub's numerous questions about why, what happened, how.  

This is soooo cute. I can't get over how cute this book is. I love it. LOVE IT. Mama Bear's answer is wonderful. Baby needs to know how much she is loved and that she did come from God. Baby is a blessing from God. Bergren explains the age old question in such a great way for children to understand. (And if you read your child the book it can get you off the hook of answering such a loaded question if you're uncomfortable!) It also lets Baby know God is the Almighty Creator. That's where we all come from. Once again I can't tell you know much I LOVE LOVE this book. 

The two are a great combination to put on your bookshelf or give as shower gifts, birthday or Christmas gifts. Check out both of them below.
