About the author
Ann Turner
104 books35 followersAnn Turner, also known and published as Ann Warren Turner, is a children's author and a poet.
Ann Turner wrote her first story when she was eight years old. It was about a dragon and a dwarf named Puckity. She still uses that story when she talks to students about writing, to show them that they too have stories worth telling.
Turner has always loved to write, but at first she was afraid she couldn't make a living doing it. So she trained to be a teacher instead. After a year of teaching, however, she decided she would rather write books than talk about them in school.
Turner's first children's book was about vultures and was illustrated by her mother. She has written more than 40 books since then, most of them historical picture books. She likes to think of a character in a specific time and place in American history and then tell a story about that character so that readers today can know what it was like to live long ago.
Ann Turner says that stories choose her, rather than the other way around: "I often feel as if I am walking along quietly, minding my own business, when a story creeps up behind me and taps me on the shoulder. 'Tell me, show me, write me!' it whispers in my ear. And if I don't tell that story, it wakes me up in the morning, shakes me out of my favorite afternoon nap, and insists upon being told."

Following the work of Lois Ehlert.
Basically, you can find angels anywhere! Take the time and look.
(Okay, I wasn't very good at finding the hidden angels)
The blurb on the front cover flap almost has more words than the book.
Back matter includes "Artists Notes" with facts about some of the settings.

This was okay, but really didn't care for the text. There are three or four good angel illustrations: beach angel, fire angels, harvest angel. Like Ehlert's work much more when she is in control of the text/story.
