Children have lots of questions when someone they love dies. In this book, a little boy wonders how to get to heaven where his grandmother now lives. Can he get there by building a staircase, by jumping, by flying, in a hot air balloon, on a plane? Finally in church he learns that there is a way to get to heaven, but it's not about travel or anything else we can do. It's a gift that comes through grace and faith.</pThe illustrations are colorful and attractive, and they bouncy rhymes make it fun to read. It will also help parents to discussing death and heaven with young children.

I did have a few theological concerns. At one point, the author says that heaven "will be our reward." Of course, we know we don't deserve a reward! Heaven is about getting what we don't deserve. It also implies that grandma is "watching over me." There's no biblical basis for believing this and I personally wouldn't teach it, even to children.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* not a bad kid's book, would consider buying if the need was there for small children, i liked the artwork.

Beautiful story that explores a child curiosity about the death of loved ones, heaven, and God. I would read this to any child going through loss or wondering about heaven.

'How High is Heaven' focuses on a young boy who tries to go to Heaven, so he can see his Gran again. I loved the concept of the story, and how it collaborates the themes of love, loss, faith, and family.

I didn't like the sentence structure. Half of the words rhymed and went well together. The other half kinda went, but it just felt off, and didn't really work. However, the illustrations were absolutely positively lovely.

I would recommend this book for a Primary school age range. Aged 6 and below for storytimes, and aged 9 and upwards, to use as a hook to look at the previously mentioned themes.

Rated: 3 stars

Thank you to netgallery for allowing me to read this beautiful and insightful book

This is one of the most precious books I have ever read. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and the story is just perfect. However it's the message that really means everything. Not a single person on this planet should go through life without receiving the information contained within the pages of this endearing story!
I give How High is Heaven, a must read, five star review.


Thank you to Netgalley, Zonderkidz, and Linsey Davis for this Arc.
The review and opinions are solely my own.

This gorgeous picture book tells the story of a sweet little boy who wants to go see his gran in heaven. It is beautifully illustrated, has lovely rhyming lines and it did make me quite tearful! A very special book that might be especially helpful for a parent to read to a child who has just lost someone.

How High is Heaven by Linsey Davis is a cute book about Heaven from a child’s perspective. I loved how the author wrote about Heaven as some kids perceive Heaven to be and how kids, at times, think that they can travel to Heaven, like they are going on a trip. This is a sweet book with beautiful illustrations. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (My book review is also on Goodreads.)

Thanks to Netgalley and Zonderkidz for a free digital copy.

A touching and beautifully illustrated rhyming story about a boy trying to reach Heaven to visit his grandmother. He isn't sure how to get there until he hears a message at church about how faith is the only way to Heaven. Overall I like the concept but I don't like the execution of it. It never explains how his grandmother is dead. He cannot reach her until he dies one day too. And it never mentions Jesus and leans a bit into works based faith, which I do not agree with. Overall I think this story is a miss.

The author Linsey Davis has portrayed the concepts of love and heaven so beautifully. This book is truly an inspiration for the young kids who are on a journey to heaven by doing good deeds.

This is a super cute book to read to kids about heaven and the loss of their loved ones. I really enjoyed the rhymes and the pics were great! There has to be a better way to display things on the app though. it's hard to read, it skips to the next page without trying. I ended up not reading this to my son because I knew he would just get frustrated.

I recieved this book in exchange for an honest review,

My mother passed at the beginning of this year. My son won't ever know her, but when the time comes i know my daughter will ask questions. That being said, i saw this book and wondered how well it could explain things, and if its something i would read to my kids to explain such a rough and touchy subject,
the answer is YES, absolutely yes, This book was so beautifully written and the pictures just add to the beauty of the book,
my kids may never have a relationship with their grandmother, but they will know about her new home in the sky,
Thank you

I was curious to see what this book is about. It seems to be hitting on a very touchy subject with heaven. So I wanted to see how the author could tactfully pull off explaining it to kids in a way that the parent would feel comfortable enough to let their kids read it.
Although I do not have any grandkids I would absolutely love to allow them to read this to understand the basic concepts of heaven. The illustrations were just beautiful! I loved all of the colors. It was also nice to book that contributes to more cultural diversity.
The story was simple and well written. I also think that the story will be able to reach the understanding of a wide range of kids. I would definitely buy and recommend this book to anyone who has kids and or who needs to explain what happens to a loved one when they pass away.

This book is beautiful. The illustrations are perfect. The story follows a child who wants to go to visit his Gran who had died. A gentle way to explain about Heaven. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Book Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How High is Heaven
Author - Linsey Davis

Children’s Christian Picturebook

How High is Heaven was written to help children understand Heaven. I love the topic & purpose of this book. It focuses more on how the child thought he could get to Heaven to see grandma, than about Heaven itself. It does briefly mention how to get to Heaven towards the end of the story.

How High is Heaven presents a good message to young children. It has a rhyming flow to it, and the sentences are curvy which adds to the illustrations. The pictures are detailed with beautifully colored backgrounds. If given as a gift, there is a ‘presented to’ page at the beginning.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, & the publisher for providing an ebook to read & review.
