Racquel cannot get to sleep. Bad thoughts are waiting in the dark--and the Ugly Buglies, who sneak out at night to nibble on bare toes! Grandma Kathy doesn't know how to help, until an angel tells her in a dream, "Sometimes when people put their hands together to pray, they need something between them to hold onto." Inspired by this message, Grandma Kathy makes Racquel a very special gift, an angel doll that reminds her she's never truly alone.

This gentle story is for every child who needs a bit of comfort in the night and every adult who wants to help. The soothing, perfect-for-bedtime text is accompanied by magical illustrations--strikingly detailed pen-and-ink drawings colored with lush pastel hues. Using an angel as the messenger of God's love, the story embraces children of all faiths, ages 2 to 7, and works with or without the doll.

Based on an inspiring true story included at the end, the book is a perfect choice for parents and grandparents, care givers, family counselors, child psychologists, and gift givers. It's a reassuring title for every child and especially for those who have trouble falling asleep.
