Our Review

This gentle picture book offers a warm, faith-based answer to the timeless question of a child's origin, framed through a tender conversation between a polar bear cub and her mother. As they settle in for the night, the young bear's curiosity about where she came from is met with a reassuring narrative that weaves together parental love and divine creation. The story emphasizes that the child was deeply wanted and is a cherished gift, providing a simple yet profound theological foundation for Christian families. Its soothing bedtime rhythm and soft illustrations create a calm, loving atmosphere perfect for snuggling and sharing.

What sets this book apart is its ability to translate complex spiritual concepts into language that even the youngest listeners can absorb and feel comforted by. The polar bear family makes the message accessible and engaging for toddlers, while the repeated affirmations of being "wanted" and "a gift from God" build a child's sense of security and belonging. Parents seeking to introduce the idea of a God who intentionally creates and loves each child will find this story a valuable tool for nurturing early faith. It leaves little ones with the heartfelt, empowering truth that they are a special part of their family's story and God's plan.
