About the Book

Sample a free excerpt

Kailen Offutt was just four years old when her baby brother, Kulen, was born sleeping and never made it home to join his three big sisters.

A Corner of Heaven shares a family’s journey through expectation and joy, to heartbreak and loss, and back to hope and happiness.

Illustrated by Kailen, now nine, A Corner of Heaven is a comforting gift for grieving families, providing a resource for parents to help their young children understand, discuss, and process the loss of their long-awaited sibling.

Grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles, and family friends will find A Corner of Heaven to be the perfect way to express their sympathy and support at a time when mere words seem to fail.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of A Corner of Heaven will benefit Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a nonprofit organization that provides remembrance photography to grieving families.

Praise for “A Corner of Heaven”

“I have personally found that sharing with my rainbow baby about his precious big brothers, David and Ethan, has created conversations as well as insight well beyond what I would have expected from a four-year-old. A Corner of Heaven is a beautiful way to begin discussions about the loss of a baby with the baby’s siblings. While the book may not be the same exact experience as yours or mine, it will create a conversation and a bond that is instrumental in the healing journey after the death of a baby.”

Gina Marie Harris, MNM Chief Executive Officer at Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
