The book Devon in Heaven was written because one of the most devastating circumstances in a parent's life is the death of their child. At no time is a word of encouragement more needed. This book contains a fairly lengthy poem designed to provide support and healing for parents, knowing that not only is their child in heaven but also is having a much-better time (even a lot of fun) with God and the angels. The author has included several enjoyable moments, which show happiness and joy in heaven, while he is ¿ chasing a moonbeam but sliding on a heavenly rug; ¿ chasing a puppy he loved; ¿ listening to beautiful flowers, which call his name and sing; ¿ getting food from the heavenly kitchen, along with ice cream and cake, including seconds; ¿ petting lions, tigers, bears, and other animals in a zoo, which needs no bars; ¿ climbing trees more easily as he grows bigger; ¿ enjoying heavenly kindergarten; ¿ fishing and catching frogs; ¿ saving money, along with a friend, to buy a heavenly sled; and ¿ enjoying the Holy Spirit, a real cool guy. Words of encouragement are also included for each of us to receive Christ into our hearts and to help others. Everything in the book is to encourage any parent in this time of need.
