I wrote this book for The Liddle Family, who sadly lost their 8 month old Jake in an Accident. It is the perfect book for any family that has lost a child SUDDENLY. I hope that this book brings you comfort as it has the Liddle Family.

I bought this book for my son, who lost his baby brother to SIDS, He is five years old. What stood out for me the most was the truly visual instances of Jesus Christ holding little Jake, these images helped my son to visualize our little Bobby in the arms of our lord. As we read the book together I felt so comforted that my baby is with the lord and living as he should. Marky loves this book and carries it with him to show everyone that Jesus and Bobby are together like Jake and Jesus. He seems to want to tell the whole world about his little brother and Jesus.
On an Adult note: My grief process is also taking place, and to know that books like this are out there to help me help my son in our time of need, makes me breath a sigh of relief. All the questions were answered and in a way that I know Marky understands, because he tells others about it when he sees that they are down. Thank you for this book. I have told my friends about this book.

Perfect Book to explain Death, Heaven, Spirit, and Jesus to a child that has lost a younger sibling SUDDENLY (i.e., SIDS, Accidents, etc)
Tender story about Luke and his baby brother Jake. Luke tells of all of his favorite things he and Jake did. They were inseparable. Until Jesus took Jake home to Heaven.
The creative way the author explains Heaven, Spirit, Jesus, and death though the eyes of the child, helps the child relate in terms and illustrations they understand. From a child's point of view for a child.
EXCERPT: ..."What is our Spirit?" I would always ask.
Mommy would say, "Our Spirit is the life deep within our bodies where Jesus lives. It is like the wind; you can feel it on your face and skin; it can make bubbles when you blow into the bubble wand, but when you try to hold it in your hands, it is not there."...
...Then Mommy would always tell me to blow into my
hand with my breath.
Mommy would say, "You see, you feel the warm air on your hand and face, but when
you try to catch it, it is not there. You can't see it, but you can feel it"...

Our family recently lost our Baby Jake in a tragic accident. The first book was purchased for Jake's older sibling. I then purchased two other books for Jake's grandparents. The book touched all of us as we were able to relate the book to our Jake and the book seemed to be written just for us and was helpful to us during our time of grief.
