About the book:
From the creator of the best-selling God Gave Us You comes a warm exploration of the ways parents show affection--and how it mirrors God's affection for his followers.
Parents are always looking out for the perfect bedtime book to create a sense of well-being before a night of rest. Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs explores a child's curiosity about how love is shown between parent and child, with the reassurance that Mama and Papa will always love their little one. And like Lisa Tawn Bergren's young protagonist asks his mother, this question is pressing on the minds of many children:
"Mama, how does God kiss us?"
Mama smiled. "He kisses us a hundred times a day; although if you don't pay attention, you might miss it."
"At night he kisses us with a shooting star. In the morning, he kisses us with sunlight, crawling across the fields and into our windows. On a hot summer afternoon, he kisses us with a gentle breeze. But most of all, he kisses us through our family. That's how God made us. That's why I give you Mama kisses."
My review:
This was a cute story about a mom putting her child to bed and telling him how he'll never be too old for kisses and how different mamma animals kiss their babies. She points out that God made them that way and that God kisses us in different ways. I was only given an excerpt of the story but I absolutely loved the artwork as it had the look of a painting and the story was sweet, too. This would be a great story for three to eight-year-olds as they're reassured how much their parents love them and how much God loves them.
I received an excerpt free from Waterbrook Multnomah. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
