Angels, Angels Everywhere. Written and illustrated by Tomie DePaola. 2005. ISBN:0-399-24370-4. Nonfiction or Contemporary Realistic Fiction. Ages 3+.
In this book, angels are the main focus to help children understand that angels are everywhere. Angels can not only be angels, the heavenly beings, but also can be the people that help us to do everyday things.
Some of the angels in this book are the "wake up angel," the "kitchen angel," the "music angel," the "pet angel," the "tea party angel", the "popcorn angel," the "pajama and bathrobe angels," and the "goodnight angel."
It is really important to realize that even though some children's faiths may not support this type of story that the angels can also be viewed as the special people in our life who are always looking out for us. A fun activity to do after reading this book would be to have the children draw their favorite angel, which really could be anything. I think that mine would be the "pet's angel."
