Here is a recent treasure from my local library:
Wenny Has Wings by Janet Lee Carey
Warning: tearjerker, little boy crude humor
Length: maybe an hour or two? I mean, that's about how long it would take you to read it. It is a simple format and simply written.
Subject: children dealing with the death of a loved one
Story line: an 11 year old boy loses his sister in a car accident. He spends the next several months writing letters to her as he deals with her absence and his parents pain.
Well written, funny, sad, and joyful. Heaven is real and Wenny is really there, but sometimes he wishes she was still down on earth, especially when he can't find his toys (which she had hidden) or when he got in trouble for something she did.

I wasn't sure if I really wanted to read a book on this subject, but the little-boy point of view kept it from being too heavy. It proved cathartic and altogether a good Sabbath morning read.
