My Review:
My favorite thing about this story is the innocence of Isabella as she truly believes she is going to be able to see her grandpa in the clouds when flying in an airplane. She is such a sweet little character with a cuteness that makes you want to give her a hug when you realize her disappointment in the plane.
The artwork reminded me of a child's drawings but still done very nice which might make many children want to read the story more since they can relate to it.
As a christian parent I was able to discuss things in a more biblical way about heaven and where Grandma Bette is. I felt like the book could have taken a spin to teach more about heaven and how to truly get there but I was happy to take that conversation after reading the story with my daughter.
If you have had a death in the family and need some guidance in talking it through with your kids this could be a good book to open the door for communication!
I did receive a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.
