This title immediately caught my attention. Being a couple who had difficulty getting pregnant, how many times did we go to God and literally beg Him to give us a child. I can also see this book being perfect for an adopted child and their parents.
Throughout this book, from the time baby bear was born to taking their first steps to going off to school alone, the text makes it clear that Mama bear is praying for each and every event in baby's life. What makes the pages extra special, is that while the text states that Mama is praying, the prayer that she is lifting up is also included in the text. So, not only does the book acknowledge that God is the giver of all good gifts and the One we can go to with concerns, the text also teaches little ones how to pray and that God cares about even the little things in our lives.
The watercolor or chalk drawings by Frank Endersby are precious. I love how the book ends with Mama bear telling baby as he sleeps that even when he is grown and she is old a gray, she will always be praying for him.
Again, a perfect gift for expecting parents, either their own natural ones or adopted. This one definitely goes on my baby shower list. I did receive this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
