Учкай маалымат
In Angels, Angels Everywhere, Tomie dePaola presents an appealing collection of "everyday" angels, rendered in luminous fresco-style illustrations. Using just the names of the angels as text, he artfully shows how these angels help kids throughout the course of a typical day.
From the Get-Dressed Angel in the morning to the Goodnight Angel at night, Angels, Angels Everywhere is a wonderful celebration of warmth and giving sure to lend comfort to any reader. After all, everyone can use an angel!
