“Breathtaking! Simply breathtaking! No one else has given a child’s near-death experience the full heart this book does. Lots out there. All good. But in Danny’s Day in Heaven, we feel anger’s hurt and heaven’s breath as if it were our own. Each page a painting our heart makes. I treasure this book. You will too.”
Description
This beautifully illustrated children’s book follows a young boy through his near-death experience to heaven and back, a happy ending helps to open the conversation between children and adults about what happens when we die.
Danny is like any other kid on the beach—he wants to have fun, though he’s a bit of a bully. While he’s surfing the waves one day, a storm rolls in, catching him by surprise. The water pulls him under, and Danny finds himself going through a tunnel of colors and light, appearing in a radiant world with unexpected friends. What he discovers, who he meets, and the lessons he learns before returning to Earth will ease children’s fears and give hope to readers both young and old about life after death.
Inspired by the New York Times bestseller Saved by the Light by Dannion Brinkley and dozens of other near-death experiences, this book features author Marie Antoinette Kelley’s transcendent paintings and is designed to comfort and reassure children about the reality of an afterlife. Danny’s Day in Heaven is a wonderful gift for anyone who has ever asked—or had to answer—the all-important question: “What happens when we die?”
