God Gave Us Family by Lisa Tawn Bergren and art by David Hohn


What better way time to discuss families then on the way to a family reunion? In God Gave Us Family, Little Pup's wolf family is having a family reunion in the woods. As they travel to the reunion, Little Pup asks his Mama and Papa all sorts of questions about families. They give him some warm and reassuring answers as they remind Little Pup that God gives us each a family. Little pup learns that families come in all different sizes and types, but we need to love the family He gave us.

God Gave Us Family is written for children ages 3 to 8. This book is positive and affirming, besides being fun to read as a family. Along with the story, I especially love the adorable illustrations of the wolf family and their camping reunion in the woods. I would think many families would be able to relate to this family camping adventure with illustrations of family members roasting marshmallows, sleeping in tents, playing games, hiking and catching lightning bugs to put in a jar. Even though animals are featured in the story, it looks a lot like many people's camping adventures complete with a front cover that includes a family photo from the reunion.

I should mention that God Gave Us Family covers mainly variations of traditional types of families, since this is a Christian book. Families with an adopted child, those led by single parents and families led by grandparents are all mentioned in this book, along with the typical two-parent led families with various numbers of children. It is part of a series of God Gave Us books that include God Gave Us You, God Gave Us Thankful Hearts (previously reviewed on my blog) and God Gave Us Easter.


This book releases on October 17 and is available now for Pre-order.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

The 5-Minute Bedtime Treasury by Hannah C. Hall is a beautifully illustrated children's book with some fun rhyming stories inside it.

There are six stories in the 5-Minute Bedtime Treasury.  God Bless You and Good Night God Bless My Friends God Bless My School God Bless My Family God Bless My Home All of these stories are illustrated by Steve Whitlow with what I would call softly-vibrant pictures.
