"Long ago, when the world was new, the angels had all the work to do," begins this quietly hopeful book. "But where did all those Angels go? Where are they now? Does no one know?" In this tender book, the animals tell how the Angels share our lives today. Told in gentle rhymes and illustrated with lovely detail, this book brings comfort to everyone -- that Angels are watching over each of us. A treasure.

Review:

A Book Sense Children's Pick!
"The novelty art and the comforting tenets here are likely to have broad appeal."
-Publishers Weekly
"The large-format illustrations across double-page spreads are filled with glowing light and jeweled tones." -Kirkus Reviews
"This is a magnificent story of springtime. Every page is dappled with the silvery dust of angel wings as the angels teach dolphins to swim, spiders to spin, roosters to crow, and owls to fly. What a beautiful way to teach children that they will be protected!" -Book Sense Children's Picks List
