Letters to Heaven

About the Book

Talking to your kids about subjects like cancer and death is hard. Really hard.

This book will help you start the conversation.

When Sally was 5-years-old, her older sister was diagnosed with cancer. This story is not a fun-loving, little story that you’ll want to read to your kiddos. Rather, it’s a story you’ll need to read to your kids when circumstances of this world make it so. It’s a story that talks about cancer, death, and how to deal with the aftermath. It’s told in Dr. Seuss-fashion with rhyme and colorful art.
