Joni Eareckson Tada is very well known as being a woman who has overcome the difficulties of being a quadriplegic after a diving accident and now is an international mouth artist. So on this children's album she is joined by a kids choir to explain about Heaven to an eight-year-old friend called Leo whose grandfather has died. This album is aimed at ages three thru to 11 year olds. The problem is that it's too basic for 11 year olds, and a bit tough for three year olds. David Mullen does the bulk of songwriting on this little epic which is well above average. The major moan is the music which is a let down because I think your average 11 year old would be into chart music by now. There are some lovely moments though like "When I Have Wings" and the funky "God Is Good". But is it worth buying for a few lovely moments?
