Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Gilchrist's introductory note to this slim volume of poetry speaks of the Angels, both heavenly and human, that have been with her and her family members throughout her life. Her lovingly rendered sepia pencil drawings of African-American babies, children, and parents-many interacting with celestial angels that look like winged children-inspired Greenfield to write the 17 poems that accompany them. The selections are about the love and trust between parents and their children, the special bonds between friends and siblings, and the heavenly angels that watch over and protect the young. The clear message is that there are two kinds of angels watching over children; anyone can be an angel by doing something nice for someone else. Walter Dean Myers's Brown Angels (HarperCollins, 1993), poems based on old photos of African-American children, would make a nice companion piece to this collaboration, with both volumes providing a basis for a discussion of family roots, caring relationships, and the destinies of children.
