Overview
With his wildly successful CHILDREN'S LETTERS TO GOD, which has gone through three editions, sold well over two million copies, and celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, coeditor Eric Marshall gently reminded us that big people aren't the only ones struggling with the Big Questions. Again in KIDS TALK ABOUT HEAVEN, Marshall brings together an adorable smattering of children's voices and 4- color illustrations touching on problems of Death, Life, God, Love, Hope, Eternity, and Uncertainty, as children consider where we go after we die. Fresh, funny, poignant and insightful-at times downright uncanny-the child's eye view is one we can all relate to: "If you're Christian you go to one part of Heaven and if you're Jewish you go to another part. It's really the same place but I guess the food is different." "I want to get to meet Abraham Lincoln but not if he is so old that he has lost his mind and can't even talk like my great grandmother." "Heaven is not a place. It's just an idea, but it's a very strong idea, because if we didn't have it we wouldn't have any hope." "If you never get bom you never have to die, but you miss a lot." KIDS TALK ABOUT HEAVEN is a gift, an impulse buy, a serious reference, and part of a much-loved collection; it's a children's book, an adult's muse, and an amateur philosopher's playground all in one. Let the children take you by the hand and bravely lead you to one of the most important truths: as we contemplate death, so do we celebrate life.
