What happens when
a child goes home to Heaven?
From My Room Above the Sky gently explores this sacred question through the eyes of a little one who now lives with Jesus. From this heavenly place, the child watches over their family with love. Rejoicing, remembering, and waiting for the day when Heaven and earth meet again.
Written to comfort grieving siblings and parents alike, this tender story speaks to the ache of separation while anchoring hearts in faith. Through soft watercolor illustrations and gentle, hope-filled words, From My Room Above the Sky reminds readers that God is near to the brokenhearted, that every child is safely held in His care, and that love does not end at goodbye.
This book was created for families walking through loss. Offering reassurance, peace, and the promise that no one is ever truly gone.
For Families: Grief looks different in every home. There is no correct timeline, no perfect set of words, no requirement to “be strong.” This book is meant to be read slowly, returned to often, and held close during quiet moments when questions surface or tears come unexpectedly.
Our Hope: We hope this story reminds children, and the adults who love them, that those who have gone before us are safe, whole, and deeply loved by Jesus. That Heaven is not far away. And that love continues to move between here and there, even when words fall short.
For Parents & Caregivers: If you are carrying your own grief, please know this: you are not alone. Your love matters. Your sorrow is seen. And your child, whether held in your arms or in your heart, is precious beyond measure. At The Sparrow Foundation, we exist to walk alongside families like yours. To remember. To honor. To hold space for both grief and hope. And to gently remind you that even in loss, love still lives.
About Us:
Leaving the hospital after experiencing the loss of a child can be a time of mixed emotions for families. Many feel as though they are departing a place that holds the final precious memories of their baby.
Established by Miss Colorado Princess Sparrow Kilgore, The Sparrow Foundation strives to offer solace to mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters who have lost a little one by providing them with the gift of a memorial teddy bear.
Although nothing can erase the tragedy of losing a child, we hope to ensure that no family leaves the hospital with empty hands or aching arms.
HELPFUL RESOURCES
At just eight years old, Sparrow Kilgore carries a crown not only upon her head but also within her heart. As the reigning 2026 NIM Miss Colorado Princess, and former Miss Colorado Junior Princess, she shines with grace beyond her years. Sparrow is a recipient of both the El Paso County, Colorado Certificate of Appreciation and the City of Colorado Springs Challenge Coin, presented to her by Mayor Yemi Mobolade in recognition of her community service and leadership.
In addition, Sparrow is the Chief Founding Officer of The Sparrow Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Through this ministry, Sparrow and her foundation have made it their mission to ensure that no family leaves a hospital with empty hands or aching arms. Their heartfelt initiative provides memorial teddy bears to mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters who have said goodbye far too soon. While no gift can erase the pain of losing a child, these bears serve as a tangible reminder that their grief is seen, their child is remembered, and they are not alone.
This cause is profoundly personal to Sparrow, as five of her own brothers and sisters were called home to the Lord far too soon. Through that heartbreak, she discovered a purpose—to be a beacon of light for others walking through the same storm. As Miss Colorado Princess, Sparrow hopes to leave every person she meets with a little more love, a little more comfort, and a little more hope than before.
When she isn’t serving her community, Sparrow dances joyfully with Colorado Ballet Society, where she is part of the Praise Dance Ensemble, lifting her heart and hands in worship through movement. She is a twin, a big sister, and a little girl with an unshakable love for Jesus.
With the gentle guidance of her Mama, Sparrow felt called to write books that help children everywhere understand the depth of God’s love—that they are precious, chosen, and wonderfully made in His image. Through her words, she hopes to remind young readers that faith can bloom even in the hardest seasons, and that love, like a Sparrow’s song, can rise above the storm.
