What if someone could tell us what happens after death… and why our prayers matter? In this gentle and thought-provoking story, a young girl named Amelia shares her experience after leaving earth. She remembers the ordinary days she once lived — playing with friends, hearing church bells, and promising she would pray “someday.” But someday never came. Now Amelia waits with hope as her soul is purified before entering Heaven. From this place of longing and love, she speaks to us about the moments she once hurried past and the great gift God gave us: time. Through Amelia’s story, children and families discover: • why our choices on earth matter • what the Church teaches about Purgatory • how our prayers help the souls who are waiting • the beauty of the Rosary, the Brown Scapular, and indulgences • how small sacrifices and acts of love can help bring souls to Heaven Filled with soft watercolor illustrations and written with warmth and reverence, this book introduces young readers to a powerful truth of the Catholic faith: The souls in Purgatory have not forgotten us… and we must not forget them. At the end of the story, readers are invited to continue the mission through helpful pages that teach simple ways children can pray for the Holy Souls. Perfect for: • Catholic families • All Souls Day • First Communion preparation • religious education classes • teaching children about prayer and sacrifice
