"A Child's Book of Angels" educates both adults and children on the many faces and forms angels may take.A small boy's guardian angel appears to him one evening when he cannot get to sleep, and takes him on a guided tour of the angelic realm, introducing the entire hierarchy of angels and explaining the many ways in which they work on behalf of the planet.The dialogue between child and angel explores wide ranging themes and is complemented by a selection of poetry and by the magnificent illustrations of Olwyn Whelan.
