"Why do you need a new baby?" "If we don't like the new baby, can we send it back?" "If the new baby cries too much, can I move next door?" "Will the new baby look like me?" "Will you forget about me?" These and many other questions are answered with love. "God gave us you. Now he's given us two." Mama's tummy continues to grow and grow until the big day arrives.

Now that Mama polar bear has another baby in her tummy, Little Cub is bursting with curiosity. “Why do we need a new baby?” she asks. “If we don’t like the new baby, can we send it back?”
“Will you forget me when the new baby comes?”
Gently and lovingly, Mama and Papa assure their firstborn that the new baby is a gift from God they want very much, just as Little Cub was–and still is.
“God gave us you. Now he’s given us two!”
The winsome sequel to God Gave Us You, God Gave Us Two playfully affirms a child’s uniqueness and place in the family and helps little ones accept, appreciate, and love their new siblings.

My sister gave this book to my daughter when I found out I was expecting twins. We had "God Gave Us You" and read it to her almost every night so this was the PERFECT gift for her! The message throughout is so sweet...that every child is a gift and every parent still loves their child even when one (or two!) new baby/babies join their family.

I saw this at a baby shower and had to have it! The illustrations are wonderful, and the book combines a little religion and a wonderful way for parents to explain the blessing of a second (or third...) sibling. We have enjoyed this book very much.

I bought this book for my daughter, Morgann-3, since we are having a new baby. We have read it over and over and over. She never fails to ask a new question everytime we read it. It is a wonderful book to get ready for a new baby and how God works his wonderful power. The only thing is now she wants two babies instead of one!
