Pip and the Edge of Heaven

By Elizabeth Liddle

Book Overview

Pip is very young when he first asks his mother a question about heaven.

His mother encourages him to think through an answer of his own. Together, Pip and his mother try to find their own answers to many more questions about heaven. As Pip grows older, his questions and answers begin to show a more mature understanding. By the time Pip is almost five years old, he and his mother have come to a view of love, God and heaven that is both simple yet sophisticated, endearing yet profound.

This book is perfect for encouraging children to formulate and answer questions about life, death, love, God and heaven.

Customer Reviews

Sweet read for day or night

This book is the journey of a child's thoughts and discovery of love and connection, heaven and G-d. My kids are 8 and 9 (boy and girl) and they still both sit so quietly for it. They smile at the sweetness of the thoughts that Pip shares with his mother. They like the way the mother talks with Pip. It sets a nice tone for us for going to bed. I love this little book. It may make it to the books I save to read to grandkids someday. You don't have to be any particular religion to appreciate this book. Many Blessings.
