I am pleased to introduce Little Angel Friends, a picture book for young children, or the young at heart. Little Angel Friends will provide an introduction to a few unique, multicultural angels with their own personal characteristics. Children love angels, and my hope is that children will think of the ones they meet in the book as their own special companions. Yes! Their own Little Angel Friends.

Little Angel Friends introduces the reader to a range of angel characters whose honesty, wit and charm will inspire children to love them-and other people-as much for their differences as for their commonalities. Every child in the world is different and so is each character in Little Angel Friend. With their diversity, good values and wisdom, these angels will enrich the lives of children and provide great teaching tools for parents. Children, parents and grandparents will see the redeeming value that Little Angel Friends convey. Children and adults will be able to identify with Little Angel Friends as they will look like children of diverse cultures.

Angels good cheer and compassion, along with their spiritual energy, can bring great joy and comfort to children, particularly those who face difficult situations in life. Too, various religions recognize angels as important spiritual ambassadors, and each angel we meet in this book has a name and purpose designed to help children make good choices.

I hope you will share my excitement about Little Angel Friends with your own family and friends!
