God Gave Us Two is a precious children's book about a mother and father explaining to their child that they are having another baby, only this book uses polar bears. The Little Cub questions whether she will still be loved, how can she love a new baby when it cries, can she move if she doesn't like the new baby, and so forth—all questions a child would probably ask, if old enough to understand what is happening. Mama and Papa bear explain they will still love her as well as her new sibling. They constantly repeat the phrase, “God gave us two.” Two to love, two to be the parents of, etc. The book portrays that children are a blessing from the Lord. If you don't want the ending given away, do not read this last phrase, but I thought it was a clever play on words how the repeated phrase ended up being just that in the end. God gave them two, twins! Now Little Cub is the big sister to both a little brother and little sister. The illustrations are cute and delicate, and show the love of a family. My one and a half year-old daughter enjoyed the book as well.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
