Part of the God Gave Us series
A playful cub resists bedtime, discovering the gift of rest.
Little Cub is too busy building igloos to sleep, but Mama gently guides her through the bedtime routine. As they discuss nighttime fears and stalling tactics, Little Cub learns the importance of rest. Will she embrace the gift of sleep and its role in daily life? Discover how bedtime becomes a cherished part of their day.
Perfect for preschoolers (and their parents) who resist bedtime, naptime, and sleep routines, this charming addition to the best-selling God Gave Us series will help all little ones prepare for a peaceful night’s rest. Little Cub is having so much fun building an igloo with her friends that she doesn’t want to stop for bedtime! Who needs sleep when there’s fun to be had? Mama patiently answers her child’s questions as she puts her to bed, explaining the importance of daily rhythms of work, play, and rest. As they talk through the fears that come with nighttime–and work through Little Cub’s endless stalling tactics–our favorite bear learns to realize that God gave us sleep as a vital gift. “God gave us rest so we have energy for our day, and patience to enjoy it. And so we have quiet time to listen to him.”
