Grandma Heaven (paperback)
Shutta Crum
Heaven is a place where one can have fun. Or so thinks award-winning author Shutta Crum. When asked about death by one of her grandchildren, she imagined the perfect heaven. A place where grandmothers play hockey, have iguanas as pets, jump rope, find treasures at jumble sales, and keep a loving eye on grandchildren. Grandma Heaven, and its companion book, Grandpa Heaven, provide reassurance to young worriers that heaven is a happy place and that love never dies.
Sarah J. Perry, Livonia Public Library –
This is a feel-good book for families who are pondering what their loved ones might be doing in the afterlife. It’s a gentle assurance that they are, indeed, safe, happy, and that love goes on forever.
Lindsey McDivitt, A is for Aging, B is for Books –
In Grandma Heaven, grandmas drive motor scooters, ride donkeys, or race jazzy convertibles that go so fast, they have to hang onto their hairdos!” No age stereotypes or tearful sentiments here. A wonderfully diverse array of grandparents populate Grandma Heaven and its companion book, Grandpa Heaven, by award-winning author Shutta Crum. Both offer joyful, reassuring peeks at a heaven filled with fun. The text and the lively illustrations by Ruth McNally Barshaw offer cheery comfort to children asking about death and the afterlife.
