All
of the angels in Heaven are preparing for a big event, and Crystal, a little
angel, wants to be a part of it. But the more she tries, the more the angels
tell her that she is just too little. That is, until God himself gives her the
biggest, most important task of all ... going with the Archangel Gabriel to
Mary, and bringing God’s greatest gift to the world. But can Crystal do what God asks? Journey with Crystal as she discovers
that God sometimes chooses the most unlikely for the greatest tasks. Crystal also discovers
that you are never too little to do great things. You just need to believe and
never give up.
My Impressions:
This was such a sweet book that I thoroughly enjoyed, even if the message was not 100% biblical. The moral themes that ran through it were biblical and worth being explored, the biggest being that all people, big and small, are important to God and can be used to bring glory to Him. The book also holds a little humor too, especially when you are reading it to kids and they pick up on the message. My son got a big kick out of the fact that Crystal thinks she can lie to God and Him not already know, which led to a big conversation about God knowing our hearts before we utter a sound, just like He knew Crystals. Deanna did a great job with the illustrations that will hold the attention of the intended readers and guide the story along for them.
