Beyond the Stars Joan M. Hellquist

Beyond the Stars: The Other Side, Through a Child's Eyes is the story of Jamie, a little girl who suddenly arrives in a strangely beautiful countryside. Two new friends tell Jamie about this very special place where they all now live: a land of peace, joy and love. Beyond the Stars was written as a form of grief therapy for the loss of a baby at birth. The author hopes that it will be helpful to all those who have suffered the loss of a loved one, especially a child. The story is written and fully illustrated in the style of a children's book so that it may be read to a child before a loved one dies. Jamie, Bear and Cotton are all innocents who tell this story in a matter of fact, childlike way, using their own words.
