Recent praise:
"There are angels of the zodiac, as well as those in charge of the elements, the seasons, the home, birth, death, and healing, and a special guardian for every person in the world. Each of these, in addition to the angelic hierarchy (Seraphim, Cherubim, etc.), is introduced and described, and, best of all, pictured. The watercolor illustrations are a kind of illuminated primitive folk art. Angels of all different colors and sizes fly or walk among beautifully bordered pages, looking fanciful and friendly, rather than ethereal. Most have wings, but no halos, and their clothing is painted in a variety of shades and patterns, including luscious nature prints. The balance of text and illustration is just right. The essence of these spiritual beings could relate to many religious beliefs, and their lore gives a background to angelic references in literature. Ten short excerpts from sources such as John Milton, William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and the Bible are tucked into the text.” — School Library Journal

"If you only buy one inspirational volume this Christmas, make it the sumptuous". A Child’s Book of Angels, written by Bath-based Renaissance woman Joanna Crosse, accompanied by glorious illuminated illustrations from Olwyn Whelan. In a transcendent take on the "angelic host" beloved of carols and Christmas scripture, [Cross] is aiming to make readers of all ages more angel-aware. Suspend disbelief and tune into the celestial scene this Yuletide." — Venue
