Illustrated by
Chris K. Soentpiet.
A boy listens to his family reminisce about his deceased grandfather, but all he wants to know is, "Where is Grandpa now?" Together he and his father realize that "heaven is any place where people who love each other have shared some time together." Despite the sometimes didactic tone, the reassuring message is fitting, and the realistic watercolors are suitably expressive and luminous.
