God Gave Us Love by Lisa Tawn Bergren

In God Gave Us Love, Little Cub and Grampa Bear’s fishing adventure is interrupted by mischievous otters, and the young polar bear begins to ask questions like why must we love others . . . even the seemingly unlovable? Why is it easier to love those we like? Where does love come from? And why does God love her so much?

Grampa Bear patiently addresses each one of Little Cub’s curiosities by explaining the different kinds of love we can share: the love between friends, the love between families, the love between moms and dads, and the love for God.

He also assured Little Cub that because of the love God has given her through his Son, there’s nothing she can do to make God love her any more or any less. Through Grampa Bear’s encouraging Little Cub to love others with a “God-sized love,” children will be inspired to love others and to be patient, gentle and kind, so that in every way, they too can demonstrate God’s love.

Back Cover Review:
My 3-year old and 5-year old love this and other Lisa Tawn Bergren books! In this excellent children's book, Little Cub is back and talking about feelings and loving even when you don't feel like it and even when you don't want to. It talks about love and its true meaning and motives - not just warm fuzzy feelings - although there's plenty of that too! Lisa definitely grasps God's love and pens it into words in ways that children relate too! I think that this book is beautifully written and illustrated!
