Thoughts of a 3/12 year old upon the death of her grandfather, plus other musings by the author. "Grandpa has died. Where is he now? Children have questions. How do I talk about death with my young child in the midst of my own grief. Adults have questions too. This book is intended for adults and children to read aloud together. It is meant to encourage conversation about the death of a loved one. So find a cozy place, open these pages, and laugh and cry together."

About the subject
Bethany is now a summa cum laude university graduate with a dual degree in history and biblical studies. Her first theological question, at age 3, was "Mom, why aren't there any girls in the Bible?" She continues to be an astute observer, thinker, and articulator. Her eventual goal is to teach in a seminary but not without getting in touch with the "real" world. She is now working part time at a bakery and part time teaching swimming lessons at a health center in Chicago as she wades through the application process to volunteer with a peace making organization in Jerusalem. From nearly being lost before birth and from a car/bike accident at age 7), she has been twice saved. Like Mary the mother of Jesus, I have often "pondered these things in my heart." What high and holy plans does God have for this child of His?
