The most beautiful story!
i came across this book quite by accident one day while browsing amazon books and am quite glad i did! it is by far the most beautiful book i have bought my daughter (and she has enough for her own library!). i will warn that it is very spirtual in nature, talking about god and angels, however if this is alright with you than you won't be sorry with it. it is the best written and illustrated book talking about a baby as a gift from god with god picking a special angel to watch over that child for life. the first time i read it to my daughter it gave me goosebumps because it is that beautiful. my daughter, at 9 months old, loves it as well, i think the beautiful illustrations capture her attention. when i purchased ours i also purchased one for our best friends who are expecting their first baby; they read it all the time to the baby and love it. i have decided that this will be my signature gift at all baby showers because i feel everyone needs to have it! enjoy it, you will love it.

What a beautiful book!
This is such a beautiful and special book. I think that it's especially poignant for parents who have previously lost a child. It is such a message of love that your angel in heaven will be with your new child forever. I highly recommend this sweet story.

"Gift of an Angel"...The perfect gift for new parents
Marianne Richmonds book "The Gift of an Angel" is a touching book about God choosing an angel for every newborn child born unto this earth. It was the most sentimental heartfelt book I have ever read. I received it as a gift after my daughter Karlyn was born. It truly brings together the love, and emotion of the whole experience that encompasses childbirth. I've never cried so hard reading a book. This is an excellent gift to give to new parents. I will treasure this book forever!
