Book Review: Heaven, Just Believe (children's book)

Heaven, Just Believe, by Sandy Hill (Create Space, 2017, 28ppPB, $11.99, ages 5-9) Review by Skye Anderson

From the prolific author and grandmother Sandy Hill has come another children's book for the curious (and what child is not curious?): Heaven, Just Believe, for those children who wonder who goes to heaven, what do they do, and, basically, what it is like. Their beloved grandmother has recently passed away but, before she did, she visited Heaven and wrote about her visit in her diary which she saved for her grandchildren, Elliot and Ashley. The children miss the grandmother so much that they would love to visit her, but how can they?

Questions About Heaven

Elliot and Ashley have many questions about heaven such as: Do they dance in heaven? People? Angels? Do they giggle? Do dogs go to heaven? All these and more are questions the children have if they could visit but if they could visit they would learn the answers. The children believe - believe so hard, but can they learn about heaven without going there?

Bonus

Sandy Hill has another version of Heaven out, too, this one with no pictures so the young reader can read, imagine the pictures and then draw the pictures themselves. How cool is that?
