Book Reviews of God Gave Us You
Book Review: All children need reassurance
Summary: 4 Stars
When I read this book at Toys Are Us, I immediately knew I had to get several copies. I had to give this remarkable book to each of the families for whom I provide childcare.
So far, most parents have been very grateful. It provides yet one more opportunity to tell their little ones about their "when I was born" story and gives many repeated confirmations about God's love.
I just reread the book and again became teary. It contains a powerful and positive message. However, for children whose home life is far from ideal, it may not be the best choice since the book describes a completely devoted mom and dad.
Book Review: Amazingly beautiful and moving...
Summary: 5 Stars
We gave this book to our 8 year old son as a First Communion gift. The book is the moving story about a young bear asking his mom if his parents love him. The story continues as mama bear explains to the young cub how God have given them the miracle of his birth and walks the cub throught the pregnancy, the waiting over the birth of the baby, the first night at home, and so on. Our 8 year old son loves to cuddle at night and listen to the story of a mom and dad who are so thankful to God for the gift of their cub. Beautifully illustrated and written, this book is a gift to share between parents and their children.Book Review: Another Lovely 'God Gave Us' Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the God Gave Us series by Lisa Tawn Bergren. The stories are so sweet, and really help children understand and relate to God's gifts to the world.
God Gave Us You was no exception. Charming and poetic, Little Bear sees her worth and value to her parents and to God. She was a gift from the Lord to bless her parents and an answer their prayers. Exactly a concept I want my children to understand.
The soothing words and snuggle up story make this a perfect bedtime book.
I do have one disappointment to beef with the author though...I had to cringe when I first read the book to my children. Why? Well, most people wouldn't blink twice, but me, being an advocate for natural labor and homebirth, I utterly hated the fact that when reliving Little Bear's birth, Mama Bear rushed to the hospital at the first contraction to deliver her with a doctor. :o/
(We just change the story to Little Bear being welcomed to the world at home with a midwife! *giggle*)
Other then that, the beautiful illustrations and lovely lesson makes this book another favorite added to our God Gave Us Series!
(I received this book for review purposes from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers)
