Like this,” she said, leaning in for a long smooch on his cheek.“Mama!” he laughed.“What about lions? Or tigers?” he asked.“Lions and tigers stick out their big pink tongues and give their cubs slurpy licks.”“Ewww. That’s gross!”“No, that’s a special lion mama kiss. It’s how God made them. Want me to show you?”The boy giggled and squirmed away when she tried.

Lisa Tawn Bergren is a best-selling author of nearly forty books, including the beloved God Gave Us children's book series. Her work spans many genres, from adult fiction to devotionals. She and her husband, Tim, live in Colorado Springs with their family. From early childhood, Aleksandar Zolotic used his vivid imagination to create amazing drawings, making everyday moments in his life look special. Years later, he studied at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, and he's gone on to win numerous awards for his work. When not creating imaginative illustrations, he spends time drinking iced coffee and eating homemade muffins with his wife and reading picture books to his daughter, while preventing his baby son from eating them.
