God Gave Us Christmas
What's This Book About
As Little Cub and her family prepare to celebrate the most special day of the year, the curious young polar bear begins to wonder… “Who invented Christmas?” Mama’s answer only leads to more questions like “Is God more important than Santa?” So she and Little Cub head off on a polar expedition to find God and to see how he gave them Christmas. Along the way, they find signs that God is at work all around them. Through Mama’s gentle guidance, Little Cub learns about the very first Christmas and discovers that… Jesus is the best present of all. This enchanting tale provides the perfect opportunity to help young children celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and to discover how very much God loves them.
Reviews
I love that the momma bear in this story answers her son's questions. She shows him throughout the story that God is everywhere and that He gave each of us Christmas. I like the colors in the illustrations of this book, and think it's a sweet story, though a little long.
I really love the message of this book, and think it is a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. That being said, it felt just a little preachy, and more like a book I'd pull out for my family to read a couple times each holiday season rather than on repeat.
