This is the best explanation of God & Christmas that I’ve ever read in a children’s book or movie. Mama takes Little Cub around to different sights & explains to him how God is at work and/or how it demonstrates God’s presence and love for us, & explains why God gave us Jesus. While looking at the Northern Lights, Mama explains, “He sent His only Son as a baby so that we would know light from dark. Jesus is the Light of the World. Jesus is how God gave us Christmas.” In response to Little Cub’s astonishment that Jesus came to us as a baby, Mama says, “All kings begin as babies. God knew we would need someone we could touch and see and smell... to understand just how much He loved each one of us.” There are several explanations of how God gave us Christmas and who & what exactly Jesus was to us (the Light of the World, King of all Kings, the Bright Morning Star, & the best present of all).
Anyone at any level of their “Christian commitment” (in other words, from the “I believe in Jesus, but never go to church” type to the daily attendant type) would enjoy reading this book with their child. It would also be a good read for Sunday School. Now that I think about it, I need to see if this author did any more special occasions, like Easter!

Brings Focus To Jesus
By annaangela on December 2, 2020
Beautifully illustrated. I was a little wary at first when the bears went looking for God in nature (venturing into nature is god), but the story brought it back to how nature points to God and His characteristics, or that we're seeing God at work when we look at nature. It's a good way of giving younger kids a way to grasp the concept of God when they don't have much abstract thinking yet. The book also addressed Santa without negating him while bringing the focus back to Jesus.
