I love that there's an audiobook version. A story of a young girl that visits heaven in her dreams seems interesting.Cant wait to read it. Great review.

I always find children's book fascinating, because they can teach something complicated to children in a simple way that children would understand. In this case, religion, which is a topic not so much being touched because it's complicated. Thank you for the lovely review!

Emma's adventure to heaven will be so interesting to kids from Christian families. It'll give them an insight into what this place they've always been taught about in church actually looks like. Great review.

Aww, I am very soft to books like this. It looks like very appropriate for kids and it might make kids at heart cry. I hope to share this with my daughter and my brother. Thanks a lot

This story captivates a child's interest. Jemima and Arvind introduced God and heaven to children passionately. The illustrations are compact, making the story easy to comprehend.
Reading is a journey to the world.

I do like the fact that the narration is realistic, that you could hear two voices at the same time, because children (and adults, of course) do often talk over each other. Thanks for the review.

Lovely review. I did notice, however, that in the last sentence of the 4th paragraph: "I like how the book also tells readers that there's a reward for going against how God wants us to live."

It says going against how God wants us to live. Is that a typo error or is that actually what the book tells the readers. If it's the latter then I don't think this is a book suited for families who are believers and followers of Jesus Christ, because that is not what He teaches in His word.

Otherwise, you've written quite a lovely review.

From the review, the book sounds quite inspirational, educative and moral boosting. As a Christian parent, I'd go for it to help raise a sound Christian children. Thanks for the wonderful review.

As a Christian mom, I am getting my son this book. I really hope he enjoys reading it. I like the fact that the reviewer also listened to the audio book and gave their experience on it.

A children's book about God and heaven for kids aged 3-10 sounds kind of something I may have not come across earlier. Thank you for the review!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)

Good morals is necessary in every living society for a peaceful coexistence, this book provides a fascinating means to teach children about the Bible and inculcate Christian morals in them. And that is what I like most about the book. This beautiful story would also encourage children to keep doing what is right, as they'll reap the reward of eternal bliss in heaven. I think adults too can be inspired by this beautiful genre.

Romans 2:6 reads: "For God will reward each of us according to what we have done." Hence, just as there's a reward for doing good, we'll be rewarded accordingly for evil deeds. I think you misunderstood the statement.

Thanks for finding time to read and comment on my review.

I am a lover of children's books with great lessons. The fact that this preaches salvation makes it worth reading for me. Congrats to the author on being the book of the day! :techie-reference: :techie-studyinggray:
