NOTE FROM DOREEN

Every kid and adult has guardian angels with them at all times. Youve got angels with YOU right now! I wrote this book to help you learn about your angels and how to contact them. If you ever feel lonely or afraid, your angels can help you. If you need to find your homework or remember the answers to a test, your angels can help you. If you have a fight with your best friend or someone hurts your feelings, your angels can help you.

In fact, your angels can help you with EVERYTHING! The thing is, though, your angels can only help you if you ask them for help. Thats because God gave everyone this thing called Free Will, which means we have the right to make our own choices. The angels hope that youll ask them for help a lot, because they love you and want you to be happy, healthy, and safe.

Remember: Whenever you need help of any kind... ask your angels!

Have you ever wondered what angels do all day?

Do we hang out in the sky singing heavenly songs?

Are we relaxing on fluffy clouds?

Or playing the harp?

Do we watch over you from above?

Of course we do these kinds of things sometimes! We are angels, after all. But mostly we spend our time looking out for kids like you. Our work takes us all over the world, but we can be by your side in the blink of an eye. You might even be surprised by some of the jobs we take on.

Count on us to be there if youre feeling scared or worried. We wont fall asleep on the job!

We can also give you courage when youre trying something new or daring.

But wait... were getting ahead of ourselves! First, there are a few things you should know about how we work.

One important thing you should know is that angels cant get started until you or someone who loves you asks! Thats right! Angels arent pushy. We wait patiently for you to call upon us.

To get in touch with us is easy. Just say or think something like, Angels... please help me. We can hear you no matter how you call us.

A Dear Angels note is a great way to tell us what you need. We may not have a mailbox, but we get the message loud and clear!

Now you may wonder, How do angels talk to me? Well, usually were pretty quietwe might whisper something in your ear. You may not know whose voice it is....

Pay attention, it could very well be an angel. Youll be glad you did!

Angels also send you signs to let you know that theyre near. Not like street signs, of coursetheirs are much prettier. Look upyou might see an angel-shaped cloud or a colorful rainbow. Look down that white feather is just for you!

Now that you know how we work, youre probably wondering, How can an angel help me? Angels help you every day in all kinds of ways!

For instance, if you have a date with the dentist and youre feeling worried, call on us!

Well be with you the whole way. Well calm your fears and help you know that everything will be all right at the dentists office or anywhere.

We also help you stay safewere your heavenly superheroes! We can save you from a speeding bus, leap between you and danger, and surround you with our protective light. Its a bird, its a plane... its an angel!
