Heaven is a place where one can enjoy the afterlife. Or so thinks award-winning author Shutta Crum. When asked about death by a grandchild, she imagined the perfect grandparent heaven. A place where grandmothers and grandfathers have fun. In Grandpa Heaven, grandfathers paddle canoes, have pet ferrets, tell knock-knock jokes, find treasures like bungee cords, and keep a loving eye on grandchildren. Grandpa Heaven, and its companion book Grandma Heaven, provide reassurance to young worriers that heaven is a happy place and that love never dies.
