This book was so sweet! My kids and I absolutely loved it. The message it sends is powerful and prompted a great conversation with my kids. Highly recommend!

Beautiful story but my biggest problem with this is that it talks quite highly about the afterlife in the end. Painting a picture that death aka heaven is wonderful. I wouldn't want my child wanting to get to heaven quicker and I feel this, in fact, encourages that. Not appropriate.

Max Lucado writes accessibly about faith for adults and, in this book, demonstrates the same ability in a children’s book. The illustrations are lovely and the writing is beautiful.

Just in Case You Ever Wonder is clearly written for a Christian audience and is done well. Lucado shares something special in this text.

I loved the non religious aspects of this book. How special and loved the baby bear is. How much love the momma bear has for the baby bear. I also really w noted the soft colors and illustrations.

Beyond that this book wasn’t really for me.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really respect Max Lucado and have many books by him for children and adults. However, I found this book to be a little “over the head” of its intended audience. While reading it, it seemed most appropriate for children who might have been adopted.
