Twirling Hair with Jesus is a unique children's book that takes the heavy subject of death and inserts a child of God's hope in Jesus Christ. In the work of Jesus Christ, death has lost its sting, and the victory over death was won. This book takes that hope and, through the eyes of a little child, allows the reader to see it as she sees it. This book evokes joy amidst sorrow and security in a time of questioning. The main character, Gracie, has lost an uncle. She must maneuver through the hard tasks that go along with a loved one's passing. Many questions are raised by the events that follow. Her uncle's viewing, his funeral, and the cemetery scene are hard places for a child, but her mom takes that opportunity to share a comforting story that helps Gracie cope with this heavy day. In the end, the peace that passes all understanding meets them in the rocking chair. The hope in Jesus carries the theme of this book and gives new light to the subject of death. Twirling Hair with Jesus may be a family's lifelong tool for helping children of all ages cope with the great task of understanding death and handling grief.
