Review of Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
"Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul teaches children about heaven and inspires them to have faith in the power of God. The story follows Emma, an eight-year-old girl born into a loving Catholic family who often dreams of heaven. Her dreams are so vivid that she shares her wondrous experiences with her younger sister, Bella, and her parents. This book is short and engaging, with vibrant illustrations to match the profound lessons in the narrative.
The illustrations were a feast for the eyes, so endearing that I simply couldn't repress my smile. The characters' expressions complemented the narrative well, especially in the palpable excitement of the young girls as they met Jesus and ascended to heaven in Emma's dream. Heaven's portrayal in the artwork caught my attention as well. The use of rainbows and golden light rays, while conventional, was effective in depicting it as a holy sanctuary. Furthermore, the authors used auras around the text when it was superimposed on a backdrop. It enhanced the readability and resonated with the narrative's sacred themes.
Another aspect of this book that I adored was the Bible references and verses scattered throughout the story. I was able to better relate Emma's dreams to the teachings of the Bible, especially after her parents reinforced the concepts and shared their opinions. Speaking of Emma's parents, I immediately noticed how necessary their role is in the narrative. They not only encouraged Emma and Bella to expand their Bible knowledge but also created a safe space for the girls to discuss their beliefs. I loved their gentle approach to parenting. It highlighted the significance of family bonding in nurturing faith.
Surprisingly, "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" did not avoid discussing the concept of hell. Rather, it described hell as an understandably scary place for sinners. It ensured that the girls understood both the rewards of following a righteous path and the consequences of straying from it.
I gave this book an impeccable 5 out of 5 stars. I found absolutely no errors in the narrative, which was quite impressive and denoted the hard work of the editor. Also, given the genre of this book, it contained no profanity or inappropriate content.
"Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" would be a great introduction to Christianity for young children. I thoroughly enjoyed flipping through its pages and reconnecting with goodness.
