My children love to read and, even though they can read themselves now, having me read a picture book to them is special. Some of my fondest memories were when my brother and I would spend the night at my Grandma's house. From elementary through high school, she'd read picture books to us at bedtime. That's not something you ever outgrow!
God Gave Us Love is very well-written. Because of the sweet, eternal message it has, reading it to your children will be sure to bond you even closer together. The illustrations are beautiful. The story itself is something special along the lines of Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny (which is a classic in children's literature you should definitely read if you haven't already!) I have to admit, I like this story even better than the famous Miss Brown's because of the inspirational message within its pages. This one is meant for babies and toddlers--it is in a board book format.
I highly recommend this book and am so glad I had the opportunity to review it! I also recommend the others I've read in the series: God Gave Us You and God Gave Us Two. You can read my reviews of them by clicking their titles. Or you can read excerpts from each of them at Amazon. : )
The wonderful people at Waterbrook Multnomah provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purposes of this review. All views presented are my own.
