Angel Coming
Author: Heather Henson
Mama says we must be ready,ready for that angel coming.High in the hills of Kentucky, a little girl eagerly awaits the arrival of a very special visitor -- an "angel" who, she is told, will come riding up the mountain on horseback, carrying a baby sister or brother in her saddlebag. Li'l sis is what I'm wanting.Li'l sis is what I'll ca...  more »But the "angel" is not exactly what the young narrator imagined, and neither is the precious bundle that comes when she least expects it.This gem of a story highlights a little-known piece of American history: the Frontier Nursing Service, a pioneering group of women who came to be called "angels on horseback."

A little girl awaits the delivery of a new sibling. As the postman comes on horse she looks for a package big enough to be a baby brother or sister.

While the book is not a completely true story on how babies come to families, it is not one I ever thought of. It is a fun way to think of a baby coming and is probably for children under 5. The art is amazing.

Something in the pacing through me off from the story. I felt I also wanted more at the end.

Angel Coming is cute, heartwarming and visually stunning book.
