God Gave Us Two by Lisa Tawn Bergren

These God Gave Us books are wonderful tools to help children understand life.

In this book, your little one will better understand that you will soon have a new brother or sister and that God gives them as wonderful gifts.

The little cub hears from his parents about all the fun things he'll experience now that he'll have a sibling. These are questions your child may be asking in his/her mind.

You'll also touch on the creative aspects of God. Just like every snowflake is different, God makes every new brother and sister different.

New siblings don't mean a replacement, but they mean double the fun.

This is an excellent hardback book for sharing the new life growing inside mommy.

This Little Prayer of Mine by Anthony DeStefano

This clever rhyming book is a nice introduction to prayer for children.

Your child will see that talking to God is just as easy as can be and, if they really feel up to it, could even say their prayers in rhymes.

The illustrations are excellent.

It's fun to see what pops in the artist's head after reading a couple lines from the book.

Like most books like this, you are able to enhance the prayers by adding your own stories to the pictures as your child will look and study each page.

This Little Prayer of Mine is a terrific book for all ages.

When God Created My Toes by Dandi Daley Mackall

Dandi Mackall has written a lovely rhyming book all about God creating us.

Beginning with the toes, we travel up through our knees, hip, hands, head, hair, eyes, nose and heart. The lines are fun to read and easy for children to understand.

The illustrations by David Hon are fantastic. The colors brighten up the story.

In this book, we follow a girl as she wonders about what God was thinking when he made certain parts of her body. She plays with her dad, fingerpaints on the walls, gets a bath and plays in the snow.

The best part is how easy this book is to follow. Kids will want to read this over and over.
