Review by debbie
Good book for helping little ones understand illness and sickness in our fallen world.
wonderful
Review by Jennifer
I really like this book because we all can identify with losing someone to a sickness, especially now with corona...my daughter identified with it and said..oh thats like what happen to ___________..we have friends who have lost children to car accidents, gun violence, corona and cancer..so it really helped to put in child friendly terms.
Beautiful book
Review by Aubrie
I have found that using books makes it really easy to introduce or explain difficult topics to my children. This is a beautiful book about sin, sickness, and the Gospel.
WOW
Review by Apolonia
This is definitely the book you want to read. It was a good way to explain sickness and death to kids. In why we have it, and that God heals people in all types of ways.
Love!
Review by Kelli
Great book to help in open discussions about sickness and death.
Sensitive but truthful
Review by Elisabeth
What a lovely book. Friends of ours have a chronically ill child and this book was a wonderful tool to introduce our children to suffering in an age-appropriate way. It doesn’t hide the fact that suffering happens in this fallen world, but affirms that God is all-loving and is always in control - even when it doesn’t make sense to us.
Nice
Review by Maxine
Opens up conversations about God, sickness, health, beliefs, and etc. Our 10 year old had already experienced death as some people very close to us had passed suddenly and this helped along with us answering several questions about eternity.
beautiful story
Review by Jennifer
A child in our co-op died of cancer in November. I read this book to my children, age 3 & 5 years, while our sweet friend was fighting cancer. It was a great resource for my children and my family.
Very sweet book
Review by CB
I love love love this Book. I had planned to read it in Morning Time, but my daughter found it and asked me to read it early. It was the perfect amount of information- she’s almost 6. She got the concepts- they’re presented well- and the story was engaging. I know she will remember these lessons when we experience illness or death in our family. That’s really why I bought it- I want her to be equipped ahead of time- in a Biblical way!
