This was a great book for children with a lot of depth to it. At first, I thought the concept of the little girl visiting Heaven in her dreams was going to be overly cheesy, but this narrative device was used quite well to impart theological truths in a way children could understand. It is laid out well for reading aloud for children, with the artwork set beside the pages of text. The artwork is bright and eye-catching. It’s a style that children will enjoy.

The theological content is robust. I was really impressed. Sometimes books for children about Bible stories are overly cutesy and do not really impart the truth of the Gospel. This book delves deep, and includes many Scripture references, including Isaiah and Revelation. It lends itself well for reading from the Bible with your children. There is even a note for parents in the back with a prayer to walk through with the children when they understand the Gospel and are ready to accept Jesus.

I would say the book is better for slightly older children, say no younger than kindergarten age. It would be a bit too advanced for toddlers. It introduces very weighty concepts to young children in a way they can comprehend. It does discuss the concept of Hell. Parents should be aware of that in case they don’t want to introduce their child to that yet.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It is very well produced, with excellent editing, good layout, and fun artwork. The editing was top-notch, I did not find a single typo. It is bright, engaging, and good for small children. It discusses very difficult theological concepts in a way children can grasp, and even helps parents learn how to have those conversations with their children.
