Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs

Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs is a beautiful story for children ages birth to older elementary.  This story shares a mama giving her son kisses and compares them to how other animals kiss their children. Then its's papa's turn to come in and pray with his son. He gives his son hugs and they talk about how other animals hug their young.

Perhaps the most poignant part of the story is when the son asks, "Papa, how does God give us hugs?" Papa replies, "Hundreds of times throughout the day, God sends us hugs. We might miss them if we don't pay attention."

The book is full of beautiful illustrations. Even though it's a picture book it is also great for older children as well. The message is sweet and heartwarming.

I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I was happy to do!
