Teaching your little one about angels

God Gave Us Angels by Lisa Tawn Bergren is a sweet way to teach your child about angels and the role God gave them.  Little Cub opens the story up in a tree looking for angels which presents the opportunity for Papa to explain that they are in their midst but not necessarily visible.  Papa explains that angels were created to serve God in whatever way He pleases--carrying messages, guarding over us, fighting for us, worshipping--and that they can take the form of us so we need to be cautious how we treat everyone because it could be an angel in disguise.  For me, the  most important element of the book is when Little Cub asks if he will become an angel when he dies and Papa explains that he won't, that angels were created with the earth which dispels the common belief present in today's society that people become angels.

The illustrations are beautiful and the book a wonderful addition to the series which includes God Gave Us You, God Gave Us Two, and God Gave Us Heaven among others.  I did receive this book free from the publishers in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive review.
