Everyone loves Christmas - especially angels. But how do angels celebrate this special holiday The Angel's Christmas is the story of the true meaning of Christmas from a young angel's perspective. An awkward young angel named Simon discovers his special gift while finding a meaningful place among other angels. As Simon retells the story they all know so well, he also finds his place in the greatest story of all time.
This endearing story within story captures the some of the complex emotions we all experience around the holiday season. Little ones often feel left out of the special preparations, just like the protagonist angel who tends to be alittle clumsy. Still, the true meaning of Christmas comes through in the sharing of story. A new, beautifully illustrated book, to add to the most exclusive holiday collections! - Christianne Hayward, Christianne's Lyceum of Literature and Art
