Gathering His host of angels, the Lord considered them one by one, "I need a volunteer," He said, "to watch over this daughter or son." A heartwarming classic, The Gift of an Angel - now with lullaby CD - is a beautiful gift of warmth and joy for parents welcoming a new child. With poetic prose and endearing artwork, the story recounts the blessed moments before a baby's birth when God chooses a most special gift for His miracle of creation, a gentle-hearted angel to be a child's lifelong guardian and friend. The last page offers a place to record baby's name and birthdate, making The Gift of an Angel a cherished keepsake for years to come. The companion lullaby CD features 45 minutes of lovely instrumental music to soothe baby to sleep. Original works and familiar songs combine to make this sweet-sounding collection. A heavenly gift indeed.

This is a most lovely story of an angel who is sent to earth at the very moment a child is born in order to help protect and teach the child when his/her parents cannot. It is a wonderful gift to the newborn's parents as the final page documents the name of the child and date of birth which is poignantly woven into the end of the story. Simply precious!
