How do we explain the death of a loved one to a small child? Be it a grandparent, a pet, or a classmate, helping a child cope with the subject of death and dying is challenging. Balloons for Heaven explores the topic in an age appropriate manner, helping parents approach the subject with a tool to break the ice and start the conversation. Balloons uses the death of a pet, and later a parent, to address why living beings die and offers young children an option to remember their loved one.
