I lost a grand baby and was told about this book while he was in the hospitol. I read it (before Kaleb died) and cried, Kaileb weighed the same as Big George. Reading the book did make me realize that he was an angel that God gave us for a short time on this earth to love .Oh how we loved him ,it also showed us how much nurses go thru caring for these babies, and how much they hurt when they lose one.They are very special people. God is always in control. He taught us that life is so precious and we can't take it for granted not for one second. Reading this book made me realize Kaleb was a little person thou he couldn't speak or make a sound he had feeling just like you and me. My daughter was a wonderful mother being at Kaleb's side and I don't know how she did it watching him die a little each day but I do know God gave her the strength .I was only a grand parent I know what I went tru.We would talk to him and I know he heard us when we told him it was time to go and he put up a good fight and that we loved him .He looked at me when I talked to him like he knew it was time. Shortly after that we went.The book gave me comfort.It changed my attitude about life.being more caring for others.there will always be a part of Kaleb with me.Reading the book made me feel better about letting Kaleb go.Reading Big George made me cry but i would buy the book and tell others about it too.

I was given this book by a friend I met in support group. The hospital had given it to her when her 1-yr-old died. I found the book to be very comforting, and it brought tears to my eyes. It is a very religious book, and although I am not a regular attender of church, it made me certain that my son, who died as a preemie after only 27 days, was also an angel. I plan to buy several copies to give to other mothers I meet in support groups. It is a very short book and can be read in less than a couple hours, but has a powerful message to those who are grieving.

three years ago, i lost my brother, who was almost 2 at the time. he drowned, which isnt the same circumstances as those in the book. but during the next week, big george was sitting on a table in my house. so i read it and immeadiately identified with the plot and the anguish of the characters, and especially the the angelic nature of big george. the book is definitely an excellent choice for not only parents of a young child that died, but also other members of that family.

Big George is well written and insightful. I read the book while my daughter was in the NICU at Children's Hospital. It helped me deal with my pain and realize that I was not alone. I have recommended and given this book to several friends.

Big George is a must read. The story will touch your heart like no other. If you do not believe in Heaven, give this book a try to give you faith the almighty Father LOVES us all.

This is not a book, this is an inspirational and educational instrument to teach us to love one of each others. George had a mission with us the humans, I cried a lot, but I understood, that when God sends little Angels like George we have to respect his decision and intentions. I loved the book.

I have read many inspirational books over the years, but this one is the best of all of them. It only took me about an hour and a half to read the whole book. When I got to the last two pages, my eyes were so filled with tears that I had to stop and wipe them away in order to finish. These were not tears of sadness. They were tears of joy. I felt as though my soul had been washed clean. The feeling that I experienced was beyond description. The closest I can come to describing it is to say that I felt a "light and lightness" within me that I have experienced only on the most rare and spiritually invoked occasions. Since reading this book I have tried to find copies of it in the local bookstores, only to find that most of them never heard of it. (I had gotten it from the library) It was listed on their computerized catalogs, but they did not have any in stock, nor had they ever until I finally found one single copy at a local Border's Bookstore. I ran right up and got it because I wanted to give a copy to my therapist for Christmas. I also ordered two more copies to have on hand to give to others. It is good to know that I can get this book through Amazon and at a much lower cost!

What a wonder that this book has never even made it onto a best seller list.

A friend of mine recommended this book that she had just shared with her fifth grade son. I bought it, I read it, I cried, I loved it. When my step-daughter became an RN in a pediatric ward I reluctantly passed it on to her, but thought I really should. Now I have a friend in Germany who has a new grandbaby(here in the states) born four months early. The baby is now a little over two months old. She has started to gain weight, but still has a long way to go. I thought my friend and her husband as well as the baby's parents SHOULD HAVE a copy of this book.

good reading especially for those in like situations.

Big George is my hero! This book was an inspiration to me, and I always keep a few at home, just in case someone needs it. This book is a great gift for the grieving parent or family, especially when you don't know what to say. Any acquaintance of mine who is in this boat automatically receives the book. What a sweet story!!
