This book is so sweet!
This is a story about a six-year-old angel named Jacob who arrives in Heaven and discovers that the children angels take care of the pets until their owners die and come to heaven.

This book is written by Amy Nolfo-Wheeler and is a picture book illustrated by N. A. Noel who is famous for her life-like angel pictures and her animals. This is a very sweet book and could help children who experience death of an animal for the first time.

The story is preceded by the lyrics to Fly, a song, written by Jean-Jacques Goldman and Phil Gladston and recorded by Celine Dion, about a bereaved person releasing the spirit of a loved one until they meet again.

good for child or pet loss
This book was a gift. It was given to me because my son passed away from a terminal genetic muscle defect 11 days after he was born.

The pictures are gorgeous!! I give the pictures 5 stars.

The story is cute and simple. I would recommend this book to be read to children who are dealing with the loss of a pet or the loss of a friend/sibling. It is also a charming book for an adult who has also suffered a loss.

A very helpful book!!
My niece died when my daughter was only 5. She struggled to come to terms with the concept of death, and to understand why her cousin had to die. Even more so, were her questions on what her cousin would do in Heaven. How would she live without her mommy and daddy? In our search to help her to understand a little better, a friend showed us this book. It was just the nudge she needed to move on, and accept that her cousin was not coming back, and was safe and well cared for in Heaven. Now, 3 years later, my daughter still loves this book. She now reads it to her new baby sister, and tells her all about their cousin in Heaven, and how she too, is taking caring of animals. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to deal with a loss.
