Facing the death of a loved one may be the toughest thing we go through in life. When a family dog passes away, Jeff takes his little sister up to the roof to seek answers from God in this beautiful story for families.
When two young siblings learn that their cousin Penny's family dog has died, Jeff takes his little sister to the roof of their house. There, they sit, talk, and ask God to give them answers.
In this beautiful, approachable book on a challenging topic, children will learn about navigating what may be the most difficult aspect of life. Written with deep grace and unwavering respect for children's hearts, God Hears You Up on the Roof is perfect for grief counselors, teachers, and parents looking for a way to have conversations about death and dying with their children.
Author Babs Cafarella worked in early childhood education for her entire career, and the stories that once lived rent-free in her head now find their way on the page. Among the most important on her heart has been this story in the vein of Jayne Pillemer's Still Mine about confronting our fear and pain of death with the knowledge that God loves us. Babs believes and wants to impart to children that God ultimately makes all things new, and that we can find healing and meaning in the most painful of times.
Babs is accompanied by the talented Nicole Gomez, an exceptionally gifted illustrator who trained in top art schools on the U.S. East Coast and Italy. Nicole's incredibly warm, intimate, and uplifting illustrations draw young readers into a state of hope. For families and professionals looking to help children navigate loss through open communication, this is an essential read.
