I was able to read Just inc are you every wonder by Max Lucado for free from Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book has adorable illustrations and has the correct message from a parent to a child. It shows how much a parent loves a child and what a precious gift they are from God. This book teaches children how unique and special they are in the eyes of God. I will be purchasing a copy for my daughter.

This may be my most favorite children's book of all time. Max Lucado has summed up one of the most important message a parent can instill in the heart of a child here, that no matter what you are there and love them.

This is and will continue to be my go to book for every new baby. It should be on the bookshelf of every child and the message should be safely and permanently imprinted on the heart of every person.

Buy a case of these books and include it with every baby shower gift from now until the end of time.

A copy of this book was made available to me by the publisher through netgalley. This is my honest
review.

I love Max Lucado. I think this book is so super sweet and tender. It talks about heaven in a way that kids can understand. It talks about communicating with your parents when you had bad days or see a monster in your room. It uses simple language that my 5-year-old understood and I think the "just in case you ever wonder" line really helped her digest some of the more difficult topics in the book.

The illustrations are simply magical. This will definitely be on my list for friends.

This book is a beautifully illustrated reminder that we are loved. Papa bear tells his baby how wonderful it is that he was created and how marvelous it is to spend life together. Written for children, told by a parent, Just in Case You Ever Wonder assures its readers that just like a good parent, God will always love and be there for his children. Your parents will always be there for you and one day, parents and children will spend eternity in heaven with God.

This is a lovely story. It's simple and comforting, like being wrapped in a blanket and sitting in front of the fire when there is a storm raging outside. I recommend it to Christian parents who want their children to be reminded of their love and the love of God.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley and have reviewed it willingly.

Every person needs to read this book! Such reassurance of our value. Max Lucado always has such a comforting message to pass along, and this one is no exception. Beautiful illustrations and a warm message from parent to child but more importantly, it’s the same message God has for us.

Would be a great gift for a baby shower!!!

*Thanks to NetGalley & Thomas Nelson for the review copy!

Oh, I've read this book a handful of times to my daughter and the first time I just burst into tears. It touches the heart and soul as the author describes a parent's love for his daughter, mirroring or modeling God's love. Just in case you ever wonder, you are seen and loved and adored. Oh, my heart.

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 read this to my preschool group this morning and should have had a box of tissues by my side. Two of the children were my own which made the tears flow even more freely. This book has a beautiful message of love and belonging. It is a message that should be imprinted in every child's heart. Thank you for this book. I will definitely be adding it to my personal library.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

The illustrations in this book are beautiful and inviting. This is a wonderful story about the unconditional love of a parent for their child with an underlying message about God and heaven. The parent bear demonstrates their unconditional love with examples followed by ‘just in case you ever wonder’, it was really sweet.
