Overview

While Mom is explaining why Grandpa died, Charlie becomes more and more interested in being in a place where this is no pain, suffering, bullying or hardships. He decides that if heaven is so great, then he should be able to go there now. This is a struggle not only of a preschooler, but also of many teens and adults who have been faced with seemly insurmountable barriers. If Heaven is so Great, Why Can't I Go - Now? is funny and insightful and fills that longing parents have to explain the difficult subjects in a not-so overwhelming way. It is a book for children, but also a great resource for parents. This message can be relayed to all ages, and reiterates the most basic concepts of why we are put on Earth.
