HERE THERE BE ANGELS
Illustrated by David Wilgus
Harcourt Brace 1996
ISBN# 0-15-200938-8 Harcourt hardcover

Short stories and poems all written by me, having to do with angels. A few--like "Angelica" had been published before. But a number are brand new to the book, like "Fallen Angel," a story about an angel whose wings have been burned up when he falls to the earth and how three children build him new ones. Each story and poem begins with a short introduction about how it came to be written. One of the stories from this, "The Word the Devil Made Up", won the 1997 Storytelling World Award. The book was on the 1997-98 Charlie May Simon Preliminary Reading List.

       Available in hardcover.

What reviewers have said: "The writing is elegant and lucid with precise, striking imagery."--VOYA
