A Wonderful Book to Help Young Children deal with Death
This is the second time that I have turned to this book to help my now 6 yr. old daughter deal with the death of a loved one. Maria Shriver shows genuine compassion toward children in this book. It is written in such a way as to help children cope with and come to grips with their feelings. And I would also recommend it for adults. It has helped me to deal with the sudden death of my father. I highly recommend this bookd for children of all ages and even for adults.

Great story to read with kids!
I thought this was a great story. I lost my great-grandmother at the age of 20 and still found it difficult to understand. I have younger cousins that I read this with and I think it helped all of us cope with the situation. Great job Maria! Also, the illustrations were beautiful.

Maria's great book
Hi! My name is kate and I enjoyed this book. I am seven years old. There were very hard words that I couldn't read or pronounce but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this book. Maria shriver is a very good author and writes very good stories for children and adults. I hope she writes more books for children and adults. It probably took Maria a long time to make a great book. The first book I read was What's Heaven?

This is a wonderful book for any young child who has lost a loved one.
My father passed away recently and I wanted to find a simple book to help me explain to my 3 year old daughter that her grandfather had died and gone on to a wonderful place. I had no prior knowledge of 'What's Heaven?' but when I leafed through it in the bookstore it was exactly what I had in mind. I just happened to mention this book to my daughter's teacher and she asked me to bring it to school so that she could share it with the class during their devotion. The day that I took the book and handed it to the teacher she commented that it was just what she needed. Later that day I discovered that her mother had died earlier that morning. I allowed her to keep the book for awhile and when she returned it to me she said that it really helped her. So you see, this is a book that touches all ages. It's simplistic and reassuring.Just what I needed during this difficult time. P.S. The illustrations are heavenly.

Ilustrations were wonderful!!!
I think that this book was poorly written but illustrated beautifully!!! The pictures were so in tune with the story and so bright which was a nice juxtaposition to the subject of death. Wonderful job Sandra!!!
