This is a delightful children's story about Heaven.  It is told on a child's level with  cute photos of polar bears as the characters

Although I am not a fan of books with talking animals in them, this book does have an important message in it.

I do wish that the way to Heaven was elaborated on a little more in this story and about how to actually get there.  I understand that this a child's book and that many younger children don't understand "Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that we must accept Him as personal Savior" to get to Heaven.  There are children who do not attend church and this may be the only book they read that tells them anything about God. This book could be a powerful ministry tool to those children.

About the Book:

This engaging tale follows a polar bear cub through a fun-filled day in her arctic world while she peppers her papa with questions about God’s home. Children and those who love them will find reassuring answers to a young cub’s difficult questions about heaven in this delightfully illustrated book.
