From the Inside Flap
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 youngest 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 the Lord.

“Good night, sweet child,” Mama said
as she tucked Little Cub in.
But Little Cub wasn’t quite ready to go to sleep.
“Mama, where did I come from?” she asked.
“From God,” her mother answered. “Your papa
and I were alone, and we wanted a baby.”
“And you got me?” Little Cub asked, her voice muffled
from under the covers.
“Yes, my special child. God gave us you.”

Beautiful book and beautiful story!! This is a wonderful book for kids of any age. This is a short story, with gorgeous pictures and repeating text (which little kids love). I highly recommend this book. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

Perhaps I should have pre-read this or waited longer for my hormones to settle. I read this to my 10 week old and I couldn’t help but cry and I think it scared the little guy. This story is so beautiful and perfect and sweet. The illustrations are beautiful. I love this book. It perfectly illustrates the journey, love, and anticipation of having a baby. I definitely recommend (but wait until you are emotionally stable to read to your little one).

Be aware that this book is not appropriate for a baby adoption (story mentions how the bear cub was growing inside the mum cub and her tummy got bigger & bigger)! I still gave it 4 stars because the illustrations and book quality are nice. Just wish there had been more info about the story itself so I would have known.

Nothing in the description stated that this book is for a daughter. I bought it for the adoption of my grandson and was very disappointed.

This board book is strong enough for little children to handle and the story is simple and understandable for kids from 2 -6. Beautiful way of explaining the link between God and parents. Lovely as a little christening gift.
