In Angels, Angels Everywhere, Tomie dePaola presents an appealing collection of "everyday" angels, rendered in luminous fresco-style illustrations. Using just the names of the angels as text, he artfully shows how these angels help kids throughout the course of a typical day.

From the Get-Dressed Angel in the morning to the Goodnight Angel at night, Angels, Angels Everywhere is a wonderful celebration of warmth and giving sure to lend comfort to any reader. After all, everyone can use an angel!

PreS-In this sweet tribute, dePaola has created a visual story of the important role these celestial beings play in our everyday lives. Beginning with "the wake up angel" and concluding with "the goodnight angel," a host of heavenly friends accompanies a variety of children to school, to the playground, and to a tea party. The children also enjoy visits at home from "the kitchen angel," "the pet angel," "the popcorn angel," and "the babysitting angel." The charming images, deftly drawn in rich pastel shades, convey a sense of happiness and well-being. The smiling, round-faced youngsters cheerfully go about their activities while the hovering angels lend a helping hand. Each picture is framed by a stylized border and includes the name of the appropriate angel at the bottom. A pleasant addition to most collections.-Linda L.
