This book is excellent in showing children the concept of Heaven and Hell in Christianity.

It is from the perspective of an eight-year-old child, which makes it relatable to a younger audience. It doesn’t introduce the idea of death despite Heaven and Hell belonging to the topic of life after death. Instead, it is portrayed through a series of dreams.

The writing is easy to read and well-edited. A young child would be able to read and comprehend the story.

I like how the themes of family and the Bible are consistent throughout the book. Each character plays an active part that shows a supportive and loving family. There are Bible references embedded to accompany the things the little girl describes in her dreams.

The book is immersive in how the main character recollects Heaven and Hell in the dream. It truly is like how a child would get excited to share their own experiences. It is well structured in showing the different aspects of heaven and hell. However, it became too systemic when it came to listing the various features at a fast pace. It became evident when the pace slowed down in the chapter on Hell. I would say that is the most immersive section because it injects the fear the character feels into the reader. At this point, the reader could feel what the It made me realise that even Emma was excited to visit Heaven, the pace doesn’t slow down for the reader to enjoy and share in her excitement.

The colourful illustrations are a great feature to capture the attention. It is a fun way to iterate the imagination of the readers.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and it accomplished its purpose of sharing Christian Heaven and Hell with younger children in an engaging way.
