| Description: | Two Angels, Milagros (Miracles) and Alegria (Joy), wield their protective power surreptitiously and sometimes with a hint of humor, listening constantly for God's direction as they watch over a little girl named Adriana. Adriana and her family are forced to flee their home in Colombia and start a new life in Chicago. Throughout difficult times, big transitions, and the ordinary moments of childhood, Adriana's angels whisper messages of God's love and presence. Adriana's Angels encourages faith, wonder, and compassion. Many children who read or hear this story will grow in empathy toward refugee and other immigrant peers. Their sense of God's attentive care will deepen, particularly as they witness the angels' ministry to Adriana while she sleeps. Children who have experienced trauma often relive it unconsciously at night -- which is why the Spirit's mysterious healing work in sleep is so important. "Adriana's Angels gives immigrant children words to express their experiences, and other children compassion for what their peers are going through. Having this book when I moved into an English-speaking reality would have helped me througha traumatic transition. This book captures the excitement and dissonance of a bicultural experience while incorporating the deep faith of a community." - Sandra Maria Van Opstal, author of The Next Worship, Executive Pastor of Grace and Peace Community in Chicago, and daughter of a Colombian. |
