Produktbeschreibung

A year after Willow and Jack lost their mom, they decide to set out on an adventure in search of Heaven. They pack their bags and go to the park, eat at the Dairy Bar, and lay down on the path to look up at the clouds. Even though the two children miss their mom dearly, they combine their heartache with the joy of all the good memories they have with her, and they realize an important lesson in their search for Heaven: sadness and joy can coexist. Written by a mother who lost her father, for her children who lost their biological mother, Is Heaven Farther than the North Pole? is a book designed to help parents and other guardians talk about death and dying with their kids. It can show children how their loved one is still with them in everything they do, and assure them that their special person lives on even if they cannot see them. Is Heaven Farther than the North Pole? is appropriate for any child processing grief of a parent, sibling, grandparent, or other loved one. It is a story about resilience and finding Heaven all around us.

Autorenporträt

"Is Heaven farther than the North Pole?" is a question Molly Rubesh's youngest son asked her after his biological mom passed away. It was a question Molly struggled to answer, and when her father passed away in 2022, she decided to combine her children's grief with her own journey to look for signs of Heaven in our everyday life. Recently becoming a stay-at-home mom, she felt motivated to write Is Heaven Farther Than the North Pole? to help her children and herself as they search for solace, and to help other children and parents process their own grief. Molly currently resides in Indiana with her husband Grant and their four wonderful kids. Though she is still on her journey, she has indeed been able to find parts of Heaven in her search. Her talented niece Elly provided illustrations for the book.
