Elaine Fry's Newly Released "Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite?: An ABC Book" is an Engaging Lesson in Faith and the Alphabet
"Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite?: An ABC Book" from Christian Faith Publishing author, Elaine Fry, is a colorful picture book for young Christians that answers a pressing question about heaven by going through answers related to each letter in the alphabet.
MEADVILLE, Pa., March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite?: An ABC Book": a fun learning experience, is the creation of published author Elaine Fry, a grandmother and retired elementary schoolteacher now co-teaching adult ESL lessons with her daughter.
Fry shares, "Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite? was inspired by the author's three-year-old grandson, Alex. After listening to the adults' dinner conversation about parents' souls and children's souls being in heaven together, Alex asked, 'How does my soul get to heaven?'
"This is a serious theological question people of all ages wrestle with throughout their lifetime, but the author's approach is lighthearted with whimsical illustrations of riding to heaven between the ears of an elephant, jumping on a jackelope, driving a slow-moving tractor, or hopping on a grasshopper.
"From an educational point of view, the ABC format is a teaching tool. Also, the use of alliteration, colorful adjectives, and lively (action-packed) verbs assist in developing children's vocabularies and language skills. The frequent use of question marks may help early learners distinguish between a question and a statement.
"At the end, the author acknowledges that Alex is asking an excellent question with an answer full of mystery that only God knows. Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite? points toward Christian teachings of grace and following the fruits of the Spirit, which Jesus taught, making God accessible to anyone seeking the answer to Alex's question. As Alex (now six years old) grows, he continues to ask stimulating questions. He has asked the author to write another book answering the question, 'How does God show his love on earth?' So many theological questions we all seek to answer throughout our lives! Perhaps the author will provide a sequel to Does My Soul Fly to Heaven on a Kite? with the young audience in mind."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Elaine Fry's new book is a beautiful recognition of children's capacity for deep thoughts, unparalleled imagination, and meaningful questions.
