In celebration of the tenth anniversary of that book, Anthony wrote this fun-filled, action story about a little boy named Joey who gets to take a whirlwind tour of heaven with his guardian angel, Gabby. Artist Erwin Madrid’s stunning illustrations bring the story to life, showing heaven to be a place where everyone is happy, the animals all get along, and God’s glory is more amazing than anything Joey had ever seen in his whole life.
This long-awaited children’s edition will quickly become a favorite for the reader and the child alike. Imagine the comfort and peace children will experience when they hear about this incredible place God has prepared for them.

"A Travel Guide to Heaven for Kids is a wonderful adventure for both the heart and mind of any child or adult. Quite frankly, this is the type of book that is a conversation starter for the most important decisions in a young person's life. Every parent should have this resource at their child's bedside to remind them of the greater purpose—the greater callingdin their life. If you want to introduce your child to God and get them started on a path to powerful prayer and a deeper understanding of truth, then read this book to your child today."

“Eventually every child asks the same question: Where do we go when we die? With the help of an angel named Gabby and a winged suitcase, one little boy gets the chance to see heaven as Anthony DeStefano does. It is a journey both magical and mystical, a joyful ride for any boy or girl!”
—Meredith Vieira, former host of The Today Show and The View
