God Gave Us Sleep by Lisa Tawn Bergren is a children’s story about Little Cub, a bear who is having trouble falling asleep. The book is filled with beautiful drawings by Laura J. Bryant, and the colorful illustrations incorporate a lot of pretty shades of blue. Kids who have trouble going to sleep at night can benefit from reading (or being read) Little Cub’s bedtime journey, though the book could become a bedtime favorite for any child. The story sends a positive message about sleep, showing kids the importance of a good night’s rest, and how going to bed and having dreams can be a lot of fun. I think that this book would make a great baby shower gift, and would be a great addition to a child’s personal book collection.
