Very Beary Hugs: God’s Love Makes Us Brave

Wrap your child in a giant bear hug as you soak up these sweet rhymes about the love God has for His children and the power of a parent’s hug. In Very Beary Hugs: God’s Love Makes Us Brave by beloved author Bonnie Rickner Jensen, families will embrace the heartfelt message that a hug can encourage kids to face their fears and try, try again.

A hug is a blanket that keeps your child warm and safe during a storm. A hug is a helper that heals boo-boos and bad days. And a hug is the assurance kids need to start their day. Very Beary Hugs shows that an embrace not only reminds kids of how much they’re loved but can also give them the courage to face challenges, try something new, or start over.

Following a lovable and affectionate bear family, this read-aloud board book

• is for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, ages 0-4;
• is the perfect gift for Easter, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, baby showers, and just-because;
• includes heartwarming artwork from Natalie Merheb; and
• reminds us we can be strong and courageous because of God’s love for us.

Cuddle your little ones closer and squeeze a little tighter as you show your kids that your love is with them every moment of the day.
