About the book: This the first book, Gabby, God’s Little Angel, in a delightful new series, offers a comforting message for young readers-God loves you very much and is always watching over you!

What little girl wouldn’t love her very own guardian angel? Parents and children alike will be won over by this humorous tale of Gabby, a guardian angel in training who has much to learn about taking care of God’s little ones. Her new assignment is to protect a young girl named Sophie, but Gabby soon realizes that watching after Sophie is a bigger challenge than she had expected! After a close call while riding her pony, Sophie learns what the Bible says about guardian angels: “He will put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go” (Psalm 91:11 ICB).

What I Thought:

I loved, loved, loved this book! From the beautiful illustrations to the clutsy, clumsy angel Gabby, to the message to our little ones that they are always being watched over! Gabby is this ray of sunshine (almost literally with her bright yellow hair, dress and shoes)! She struggles like any young child might, which makes her endearing to little ones and adults who have cared for a spunky, awkward child like her themselves! And who doesn’t want to feel as though they are getting extra special care and attention from their own guardian angel?

I especially like how Sheila draws similarities between Gabby and the little girl Sophie, whom she is assigned to look after. It made it feel as though each angel was chosen to be best suited for the child they are assigned to care for. I think this book will be a favorite of many little girls and parents alike!
