SUMMARY:
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 young 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 above.

MY THOUGHTS:
This book is completely adorable!! The illustrations are absolutely beautiful! This story is so well written and easy for a child to understand. It also uniquely tells the story of creation in a way that the little “human cubs” can understand and not get confused by all the adult language that goes along with this topic. It also takes the awkwardness away if your child is asking questions about where babies come from… no fretting over what to say or how to explain it. This is such a loving story that I will be sharing with my daughter (and future “human cubs”) for a long time to come! I would definitely recommend this book to others and purchase this book and the other books in this series for gifts.
