Description:
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."
About the Authors:
Lisa Tawn Bergren is a best-selling author of nearly forty books, including the beloved God Gave Us children's book series. Her work spans many genres, from adult fiction to devotionals. She and her husband, Tim, live in Colorado Springs with their family.
From early childhood, Aleksandar Zolotić used his vivid imagination to create amazing drawings, making everyday moments in his life look special. Years later, he studied at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, and he's gone on to win numerous awards for his work. When not creating imaginative illustrations, he spends time drinking iced coffee and eating homemade muffins with his wife and reading picture books to his daughter, while preventing his baby son from eating them.
My thoughts:
This is my first time reviewing a children`s book, so please bear with me. That being said, I was super excited to receive this book and my husband and I sat and read it to my pregnant belly the day it came. I had no idea what to expect from a children’s book, but we loved this one! The way it’s written, it encourages parents to take turns reading the mommy and daddy sections, making funny voices, or showing how a polar bear “kisses,” which was really fun. I can easily imagine us cuddling up with our little one, when they’re older, and reading this to them together. I also really enjoyed how the story lead into how God is our Father and seeing how He “hugs” and “kisses” us every day.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get to read it to our little one someday soon!

Sorry for the short review - I'm still learning to do this on a tablet while our new baby naps.
