The Littlest Angel
By Charles Tazewell
The Story
A newly arrived little angel struggles to feel at home in the celestial kingdom, missing the ordinary joys of the earthly life he left behind.
Why It's Special
For the child who still talks about the home you moved away from, or the friend who's far away, this is a gentle sit-with-your-feelings kind of story.
- Big idea: Belonging takes time, and it's okay to miss what you loved before you can love where you are now.
- Vibes: Tender, wistful, quietly comforting.
Perfect For Kids Who
- are working on adjusting to a big change
- respond well to gentle, reflective stories
- like to talk about missing someone or something familiar
- enjoy stories with a quiet, thoughtful mood
