"This is a gorgeously crafted book. It illuminates the concept of life after death in a way young children will understand. Main Street is analogous to heaven, and being able to visualize it enables Nicole to cope with the passing of her grandmother.

Many pieces of children's literature touch on the loss of loved ones and youths' response to it, but there are few notable works centered on the afterlife. That makes this story particularly unique and valuable. Ideal for those ages five to nine, it'll provide them with a sense of comfort and certainty about the future."

"By connecting the experience of loss to a familiar place that the young listener in the story associates with good times, Kristian James encourages a positive perspective in a discussion between mother and daughter which is very different than the usual discourse... Lovely illustrations by Matea Anic enhance a story filled with fond memories and the notion that death is not a dead end, but an opportunity to recall the good times and reconnect in different ways."
