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. |

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.

I absolutely love this book! I cried the first time I read it and still do! What a gift from God, indeed, a child is and it is refreshing to talk about God's role in our childrens' lives. I have looked at and purchased many books in preparation for my little one, and this one BY FAR impressed me most. I highly recommend this book if you want to talk about God and you sheer joy for your baby!

I'm not religious at all and I am not sure what we will do when it comes to believing in god. I think we will tell her about god and she can decide later what she wants to believe but this book is just adorable!It tells your child how important they are to you and how you would never "trade" them for any other baby. The book describes how your parents will always love you because you are were chosen just for them. I love how they talk about the excitement of the baby, getting a bigger belly during pregnancy and going to the hospital. Then at the end the little bear goes to bed happy because she knows how much her parents love her! I am going to buy "God Gave Us Two" because we are expecting another baby in a couple weeks!!

I bought this book for my granddaughter, because I knew she was at an age where the question was going to come up, "mommy, where did I come from. It answers those questions in a wonderful way, with soothing words and beautiful illustrations. A lovely book, my daughter cried when she read it, because of the touching story and because, she knew that is how I felt about her too!God Gave Us You

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! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-21 06:00:11 EST)

I purchased this book for my son last year for Christmas. In fact, he got two copies! This is a favorite for us at bedtime - but I usually can't make it through without crying. We love the pictures, too. Especially the polar bear angels! Overall, this is a wonderful book for children, especially miracle children you never thought God would give you.

I purchased this book for my daughter and was truly touched by such a sweet story. When it arrived I read it aloud to my husband and we both were practically moved to tears. This book will truly make our little one feel as special as she is. She is our gift from God and this book is a wonderful reflection of that.

I just bought this book for my unborn baby. I love it! It's a very sweet story in which a polar bear cub asks where he came from. Mama tells him Gos gave us you. She tells the cub that God decided he belonged with her and Papa. I nearly cried reading this book, thinking how it answered the question just as I would want to if my child asked me where he came from.

I love this book and can't wait for my baby to be old enough to understand the wonderful message. What a great way to explain where babies come from to young children! I'll definitely get this book for my friends, and the second one "God Gave Us Two" when we have another.

When I first asked my little one where he came from, he thought for a moment and said, "I came from QVC!" Now, that's not quite right so I read him this book and now he says that he came from God, silly! This is such a cute, cute story, how a mama bear constantly reassures her little baby bear that she loves her and that God gave her to both her and her father. Even when she asks her mother if she'd rather have a different baby and her mother says no, after asking why the mother says "because God gave us you."
Everyone is unique and wonderful in God's eyes and this book demonstrates that and of His love for us. A great, great confidence building book and a must read for every family. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-01-17 10:20:39 EST)
