Adriana’s Angels
“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 who with her family is 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 is available in both English and in Spanish as Los angeles de Adriana. ?Los angeles de Adriana (the Spanish version of Adriana’s Angels) is a 2017 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards winner, a contest intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading.” — publisher
