Where Do They Go?
Remembering Those We Love
By Judie Mishele
How do you help a child understand what happens when someone they love dies?
In this gentle and beautifully illustrated story, a grandmother helps her young granddaughters, Leilani and Azul, explore one of life's hardest questions: Where do they go? Together, they remember loved ones through pictures, laughter, and faith - discovering that even though people may be gone, the love they shared never leaves.
Told with warmth, tenderness, and spiritual reassurance, Where Do They Go? offers comfort and hope for children facing the loss of a family member, friend, or pet. Whether read at bedtime or shared in a moment of grief, this story creates space for reflection, memory, and healing.
Perfect for ages 6-10, this book is ideal for:
Talking to children about death and grief
Supporting kids through loss in a faith-based home
Sparking meaningful family conversations about love, Heaven, and memory
Schools, counselors, churches, and grief support groups
Because love doesn't end - it stays with us, always.
