  In charming rhyming verse, Christmas in Heaven tells the poignant story of a little boy who is sad because his grandmother has passed away. It is Christmastime, and the boy asks his grandfather where his grandmother might be. The grandfather responds by telling the boy that his grandmother is in Heaven. But not only does he give the boy this consoling answer; he also explains that Christmas is Jesus’s birthday, and that a great, festive party is taking place in Heaven.

 This beautiful little book will not only give children an unforgettable vision of Heaven but will help strengthen in them the theological virtue of hope—a hope that will assist them throughout their lives in dealing with fear, grieving, pain and suffering. 

 

It will also introduce children to the incredible world of the saints. Indeed, all the most famous saints and angels make an appearance in Christmas in Heaven: Saint Gabriel is there blowing his horn, St. Nicholas is putting presents under the tree, St. Therese is giving out flowers, St. Francis is surrounded by little animals. Each of the saints is shown doing the things that he or she is most known for—St. Honoré, patron saint of bakers, is making Jesus’s birthday cake, St. Cecilia, patron saint of music, is leading the choir. St. Lucy, patron saint of the blind, is lighting the Christmas tree. 

 

At the end of the book is a helpful two-page glossary with short descriptions of each of the saints depicted.
