This book is a short read, but brings much comfort and peace to the heart. It reads like a children's book and can be read to children as well. The pictures are colorful and beautiful. The sentiment is heartwarming and brings peace to my heart that my baby is in a glorious place. I lost my 3rd baby Tanner Jason Tobac on 9-30-99, a full term baby, born into the arms of angels. There is a website of Tanner's Memorial Page. I received this book as a gift from another bereaved Mother. I read it with tear filled eyes. I think any mother who loses a child would love to have their own copy of this book. I have also read it to my children, so that they will know that their baby brother is in heaven. He is there singing with the angels and feeling the hugs of Jesus. Thank you for such a captivating book.

I received a copy of this book after my first miscarriage last year. I felt devastated after this loss and had very little support thru the grief that followed. This book gave me great comfort and peace knowing that my child is with Jesus in heaven. With my second miscarriage, I was much more at peace because of this book's reaffirming message. Because of the way the book is written, it feels as if my children are talking to me. The pictures are beautifully done in a way that celebrates my children's lives in Heaven. The final pages always tug at my heart. What a message of hope. I have shared this book with other parents who have lost their children and each of them says the same thing. "As much as it brings tears to my eyes, it is a very comforting book. Thank you for sharing." This is a MUST read for all parents who have lost a child regardless of the circumstances.

This book will bring tears to your eyes, but peace in your heart. Linda DeYmaz does an excellent job of bringing comfort to the reader in showing how wonderful heaven is and how safe our precious babies are! As the mother of a stillborn son named Justin, this book keeps reminding me how wonderful that day will be when I hold my son in my arms once again for eternity. A must read for parents who have lost a child.

I have read this book over and over again since the birth of my stillborn baby. It opened up a whole new perspective on heaven. Written from a child's point of view, it is very sweet and comforting to a mother's heart. My two small children read it every day for nearly a month after losing their much aniticipated sister. It taught them a lot about heaven also. I would recommend it highly to any mother who has lost their child.

It breaks my heart to realize that other people have gone thru what we've gone thru! If you're reading this, a piece of my broken heart goes out to you.

This book was a gift from my best friend who felt so inadequate when we lost our son Christmas day 2001. It was several weeks before I was able to pick it up and read it. Of course, I cried thru the entire book but yet it eased my heart. My son is in a better place, and, while not a religious person, I found that extremely comforting.

The book is scripture-based from a child's perspective. I've read it to my 5 year old more times than I can count. It's explained Caleb's death in a positive light (if there is such a thing). I still cry every time I read it, and yet I still want to read it, and cry with it, and be comforted by it.

It's a short book, it's not a how-to-cope, it's simply a soothing book to help you look at the death of your child in a different perspective and know that someday you will be together again.

I highly recommend this book for your broken heart.

Did this book help me understand the death of my baby? No, but it did the one thing that all other books couldn't. It made me smile at the thought that my daughter is safe and happy in Heaven. This book gives me a peaceful and happy feeling. Every now and then I pick this book up and read it. It's like a letter from my daughter. I recommend it to anyone who lost a child.

This is a wonderful book that reminds us all that Heaven is an amazing place filled with love, laughter, and dancing. This book was given to me after my daughter, Madeline Renae, was born still at 37 weeks on May 31, 2006. The illustrations are so beautiful and it brings comfort and joy to my heart when I read the book and think of my daughter in Heaven dancing, playing, sitting in Jesus' lap, and reminding me how wonderful it is there. I recommend this book to anyone who knows someone who has lost a child as a way to reach out. I am purchasing additional copies to give away to others who have experienced loss.

I received quite a few books when I lost my twins, Bethany and Daniel, at 23 weeks gestation this year and this was one of my favorites. Having such a stong parental instinct still present even though my babies are not with me, I wanted to know that my children are safe now and that we will be together again. Linda Deymaz's book, written from the child's perspective, addresses these fears and worries wonderfully! You really get a sense of peace thinking about your eternal life with your child and with God and you are certainly sure by the end that your precious baby(ies) are extremely safe and protected in Jesus' arms. Sabrina Smith's illustrations are also extremely touching and uplifting...very well done. The only drawback of the book is that it is fairly short. I would have liked a little more time to keep forming such comforting images. I certainly do highly recommend it for anyone who has lost a child in pregnancy, infancy or even later childhood. You will read it with tears in your eyes, but with joy in your heart.

I purchased this book shortly after the loss of my daughter. I must say, that I have read many comforting (as well as informational) books on this subject to assist in coping with my grief, and in my personal opinion, this one is the best. I keep this book in my bedside table, and still read it from time to time whenever I'm having a particularly sad day, or am missing her.

It is a short read ... almost in a childlike format ... with absolutely beautiful illustrations. If you are looking for a reasons or answers for your loss, or if you are offended by the "idea" of God ... this book is probably not your best choice.

For me, however, as a Christian, I found great comfort and hope that my daughter is safe and happy and that I can look forward to the day when "we will hold each other tight ... and once again, our hearts will beat together."

I bought this book two days after the death of my firstborn child on September 26, 2005. Our daughter was stillborn at 24 weeks. By the time I opened the first page, I was in tears. The picture of the angel carrying the baby to heaven made me think of my daughter. The whole book made me feel a sense of peace knowing my daughter is in such a beautiful and wonderful place. I read this book everyday so I can rest assured that she is safe in heaven and waiting on me to get there so we can be together again. The illustrations are beautiful and very lifelike. Sometimes I feel that my daughter is actually reading the book to me and sending me a message that she is alright and for me not to cry over her death all the time. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel a little more at ease about where their baby is. I plan on purchasing more copies to donate to the hospital where our daughter was delivered so we can pass this book on to other parents like ourselves who need this sense of peace and understanding.
