About God Gave Us Heaven:

Little Cub awakens one morning with some important questions on her mind: What is heaven like? How do we get there? Will we eat in heaven? Will we be angels?
During a delightful day spent wandering their arctic world, Papa gently answers each question, assuring Little Cub that heaven is a wonderful place, “a million times better” than she can imagine. He explains how God has made a way for those who love him to enter their heavenly home forever after their lives on earth are over.

Reuniting the best-selling author-illustrator team from God Gave Us You, this gentle story provides satisfying answers for a young child’s most difficult questions about heaven. Parents, grandparents, childcare professionals, librarians, Sunday school teachers, and others will appreciate the gentle approach to a topic that’s on the minds of so many “little cubs.”
Through captivating, full-color illustrations and tender, biblically sound storytelling, young readers and those who love them will find reasons to rejoice in knowing that God Gave Us Heaven.

Our Take On God Gave Us Heaven:

My husband says that he can't read this book without getting tears in his eyes. I had to choke back a sob just from the dedication page. This is a wonderful, well-thought out book that answers some hard questions for young kids. Our four year old has been requesting to read it often...our two year old enjoys it too (she just doesn't ask to read books yet). We would definitely recommend this one!
