Grandpa Is Now in Heaven is a children's book by Kasie Kennedy written as a poem. This fascinating book depicts the unfailing love of and for a grandpa even in death. Kids will understand that their poppy might be absent physically, but their presence lives on. This knowledge will build children's confidence and make them fearless, knowing that their late grandparents are like guardian angels watching over them.

The poem will also help to answer questions from little kids who have lost someone dear that they can't see again. Ms. Kennedy's poem will encourage the older children and help them connect with their lost grannies and still feel their presence and affection around them. Even as an adult, this book brought back the memory of my late grandpa alive, and I vividly remembered how we, the grandchildren, would sit around him for moonlight stories. What a sweet memory!

I always look out for illustrations and moral lessons in every children's book, and the author didn't disappoint me. The colorful illustrations were creative, beautiful, and very clear. These graphics will paint vivid pictures in the reader's mind. They will also appreciate the beautiful blend of colors and full-page illustrations, and it will make learning colors easy and fun. What I like most about this book is the creative illustration. Children will relate easily to the poem by merely observing the pictures. For instance, the little girl's facial expressions speak volumes.

In addition, the picture where the girl knelt beside her pet to pray was so adorable, and children will learn to say their prayers before going to bed. The book can also serve as a bedtime storybook. I admire the author's choice of words and how friendly her writing tone is. Children will find this book captivating and fun. The beautiful font style is also catchy and lovely. Kudos to Ms. Kennedy for such creativity.

This 24-page book is concise, making it an easy read for kids. I didn't find anything to dislike in this beautiful piece. The narration and language will suit the target audience. This book will be suitable for children between the ages of 3 and 5 and preschool teachers who can also use it as a teaching aid.

In conclusion, this book is exceptionally edited, as I didn't find any grammatical errors in it. I wasn't expecting to see any either. Hence, I'm pleased to give this book a perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

The bond children and their grandparents share is beyond amazing. I loved that the book shared a coping mechanism for grandchildren who have lost their grandparents. Interesting review.

For children to read this book would mean to create a conscious mindset about the after life.

[AvidBibliophile]

It’s nice for young kids to see an illustrated storybook that helps them understand how lost loved ones are just spirits that have now passed on. Envisioning them as guardian angels helps ease some of the grief-stricken disconnect that leaves them feeling lost. Thank you for providing an engaging review!

I am sure that it took a lot of skill and tact to write a book intended for small children, which treats a very sensitive topic.

Death is not an easy subject for young kids to grasp. I like that this book helps them understand the passing on of a loved one. Thank you for such a wonderful review!

Explaining the death of a loved one to a child is an uncomfortable experience, but the book helps with the poem and colorful pictures. Great review!

The idea behind this book is a lovely one, great review, amazing considering you only had 24 pages to work with.

Thanks for your review. Though I lost my grandpa over a decade ago, I almost want to get this book for myself. It's great that kids can have this nowadays.
