The Real Happily Forever After Place is a children's book about where loved ones and pets go after they die. The theme of the book centers on how fairy tales end with "they lived happily ever after" but that there is a real "happily ever after place" which is "forever". Death and loss can be very confusing for children, no matter if it is the death of a person or a pet. The story begins with telling about a special place, where there is no worry or pain, sadness or sickness, or death. Each page in the story has a silhouette picture with it. The use of silhouette pictures allows the reader to use their imagination and possibly see the face of loved one they have lost, which is an easier concept for children. All of the pictures express either happiness, excitement, peace or love, which is a comforting concept for anyone experiencing the death of a love one. The happily forever after place shows how happy the people who live there are and some of the things they can do there, such as ride bikes, play with kittens or puppies, play in a park, or hang out with others. The pictures depict adults and children who have died, because any death is difficult for a child, but the death of another child can be especially traumatic and often downplayed by others. The end of this story empathizes with the reader about loved ones they have lost, and explains the real forever after place is heaven. A personal message from the author closes out the book
