God Gave Us Series

As Little Cub and Grampa Bear’s fishing adventure is interrupted by mischievous otters, the young polar bear begins to question why we must love others…even the seemingly unlovable.
 
“Any time we show love, Little Cub, we’re sharing a bit of his love.”
 
In a sturdy format, ideal for the littlest hands at storytime, bedtime, or anytime, God Gave Us You assures each child that he or she truly is a treasured gift from the Lord.

Lisa Tawn Bergren is the best-selling author of eight novels, three novellas, and two gift books, with more than a half-million books in print. God Gave Us You is her first children’s book. As an editor during the week and a writer on weekends, she makes her very-messy-but-cozy home in Colorado with her husband, Tim, and their daughters, Olivia and Emma.
 
Laura J. Bryant attended the Maryland Institute of Art, where she received a strong foundation in drawing, painting, and print-making. Illustrating children’s books has provided her with both a rewarding and creative career. Laura’s clients have included Simon & Schuster, McGraw Hill, and Stech-Vaughn publishers, among others. She currently lives among the tidal rivers on the eastern shore of Maryland with her loving husband and curiously cantankerous cat!

         “Otters!” Little Cub shouted.
   “Otters! You’re scaring away the fish!”

“Easy, Little Cub,” Grampa said. “The otters can share our spot.”

“But Grampa,” Little Cub complained, “if they scare all the fish away, we won’t get any.”

“That’s all right,” he said. “Half the fun of fishing is being together, right?”

“I…guess so.”
