Heaven is for Real for Kids

Heaven is for Real for Kids tells the story of Colton Burpo, who at 4 years old went to Heaven during a surgery. Colton miraculously recovered, and when he talked to his family after the surgery he told them of the things he saw in Heaven, which would have been impossible for him to know unless he did, in fact, go to Heaven. Through his story, Colton shows other young children that there is such a place as Heaven that they too can look forward to going to one day. The book was written in a way that young children can understand, yet it’s not scary as to make them nervous about spending time in hospitals. Rather, it gives children hope about all of the things they will see and the emotions they will experience when they are in heaven, or when they are trying to understand how other young children can be taken to heaven.

The pictures in this book were also cute, and I think young children who cannot yet read will enjoy looking at the photos of what Colton remembers Heaven looking like. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am sure all young children will be impressed by not only the photos, but also the story of what happened to Colton.

I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through their Booksneeze program. I was not required to write a positive review.
