The Angel Heart

by Wendy Nadherny Fachon

Overview

In this uplifting tale, a child is enchanted by a delicate white heart-shaped flower. She picks a single heart and peels away its curiously-shaped petals, discovering clues God has hidden under each layer. Each clue is a piece to a larger message, and each imaginatively conceived page offers a new surprise as the story blends rhythm and rhyme, color and form, meaning and metaphor, word play and finger play. While this picture book is written for young children, it will engage and inspire children of all ages.

CHAPTER 1

God with his creative powers Gave us many radiant flowers.

Moonflowers open late at night, Glowing beneath the pale moon light.

Sunflowers bloom with the light of day,

Beaming down as we pass their way.

My favorites though are Angel Hearts, Whose tale unfolds in many parts ...

A tear, a heart, and a pair of wings, And several other wondrous things.

When one is feeling sad and gray, How do we clear those tears away? The secret answer lies within; There we must look, so let's begin.

Make like the wind, and gently blow; it's up, up, and away we go....

Spread the wings, and open them wide, To see the wondrous things inside.

Follow the words and tap along, Rhythm and rhyme, we can't go wrong.

Within we find an angel's key. Turn it 'round and what do we see?

Go from a low note to a high one.

Play with the keys, and have some fun.

A fine bottle full of potion Made with God's love and devotion, The water of life, sweet and pure, To help refresh and heal and cure.

A tiny sip will help the heart, |p And cause the sadness to depart. ^ Take the bottle with thanks and pray, Then peel two more petals away ...

The two petals form tiny shoes,

That dance with joy and chase the blues.

Fairy slippers, lively and fun,

They walk and skip and leap and run.

They dance with joy, beauty, and grace, And bring a smile to every face.

They lift the heart and mend the soul, And make the broken pieces whole.

Hum a tune or sing a song, And let Your fingers dance along.
