Book Reviews of God Gave Us You
Book Review: A Precious Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful!! It explains the subject of where we come from in a thoughtful, truthful, and biblical manner. It's heartwarming, and my daughter absolutely loves it. She feels so special (as she should) when we read it and apply it to her. We actually have used this book to talk a little bit about the upcoming birth of our next baby. My daughter completely understands that her mommy's tummy is going to get bigger and bigger as the baby gets bigger and bigger just like the polar bear in God Gave Us You.Book Review: A Precious Book

This book was right on the mark! It expressed exactly what my husband and I were feeling during our pregnancy and delivery of our daughter. Reading the book made me cry. The story is very special to me. Now, I give it to all my friends that become new parents as a gift!Book Review: A Wonderful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You by Lisa Tawn Bergren (with art by Laura J. Bryant) is a fabulous book. I would rate this book among the top children's books in my home library. The story is about a curious little cub who wanted to know where he came from as part of his bedtime story. The Mama Cub answered "From God" then goes into details about how the cub grew in her belly, how happy they were to have the him, things they would do with the little cub before he was born, and much more. It was such a sweet story. I especially liked the party where the Mama Cub "prayed" for her baby. This really gave a great illustration of how us moms pray and think about our babies. The Little Cub also wanted to know if she wanted any other baby. Her answer put a smile on my face "wouldn't trade it for the world `Because God Gave Us You".
My son loves this story. It even sparked a discussion of how he was born. He loved hearing the details of the "fun things" I took him to while he was still in my belly, and how I prayed for him and anticipated his birth. This story builds a great connection to such great memories. And, the illustrations are wonderful as well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with young children.

Book Review: A beautiful answer; God Gave Us you!
Summary: 5 Stars
God Gave Us You is a beautiful moving story. The best children's book I have come across.
It begins with one simple question from a little cub "Mama, where did I come from?"
Mama Bear then begins to explain in a gentle loving way her progression of pregnancy up until the moment little bear was placed in her arms; each page ending with the beautiful answer of "God Gave Us You".
The use of the phrases such as "my special child", "even the angels celebrated for us", "we wouldn't trade you for the world", all reassure the child of how much she is truly loved.
My daughter is 3 years old and knows the words by heart, as do I. I could read it with my eyes closed, and often do.
I am so thankful to have found this book; a story both child AND parent will truly enjoy.
I HIGHLY recommend this book and the spin-offs. We also enjoy "God Gave Us Two", and "God Gave Us Christmas". LOVE!
Book Review: A wonderful book for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
This lovely book illustrates in beautiful pictures what we as parents often say to our children when they ask us, "where did I come from?". Children are our greatest gifts and this books shows what all mothers feel; that God gave them the greatest gift possible in the form of a child.
