Death is difficult. I'm glad there are good children's books like this to help kids. Bravo to the editors for the editing. Thanks.

I commend the reviewer for putting effort to make this review interesting to read!! I’d love to write like this and would appreciate if you read my reviews and left some tips on how to write better. Kasie Kennedy seems to have done a fantastic job writing this book and her work will go a long way in helping young ones to understand and deal with the loss of relations.
Bravo!!

It's very nice book.. Death is not an easy subject for children to intake but this book allows it to be understood in a mild way... It's a book that I prefer that all children can read

As someone who just lost a parent, I can relate to this book, and I understand how hard it must be to explain the concept of death to children. Also, my grandfather passed away when I was 5 years old, and I still have fond memories of him.

Hopefully, this book will help children understand and cope with the loss of a loved one.

Thank you for a beautiful review.

The book is helpful for kids to understand loss and also that their grandparent/s are angels who are with them. That's sweet and joyful. Thank you for a great review!

Explaining the concept of death to the young ones is not at all easy. Books like these can help grieving children. It can also help parents explain death to their kids in an age appropriate manner. Outstanding review.

Good thing that the book is free of errors. I wouldn't expect a book in this genre to contain errors. Thanks for a very informative review.

The author was very brave to pick up such a difficult topic. However, it is very useful because a lot of parents struggle with telling their children such sad news. Thank you for this amazing review!
