Lonesome for his grandpa who has passed on, one child goes on a quest to determine what heaven is like and how he can get there.

He asks the mailman, the librarian, the ice cream truck driver, the dentist, the zoo keeper, and a neighbor. Armed with information, he seeks the opinion of those he trusts most, his family. When he is finished, he knows he'll see his grandpa again.

This touching story, gorgeously illustrated in soft, but realistic tones, paints a Biblically inspired picture of Heaven. On each page, the answer the child receives is backed up with applicable scripture. And when he speaks with his grandma about getting to Heaven, the gospel is presented in a child-friendly manner.

I love that although Heaven is painted in such a way that everyone can go there; it is also made clear that the pathway to Heaven is through Jesus. I would not hesitate for one second allowing my children to read this.

Armchair Interviews says: A gorgeous and thoughtful book on faith and Heaven.
