'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 belo '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 。。。more

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 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。 。。。more
Priscilla,
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 bring out all the emotions! A very special book that might be especially helpful for a parent to read to a child who has just lost someone。Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Advance Review Copy。
Leslie,
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 base 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。 。。。more
