REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS FOR:
THE ANGEL WITH THE GOLDEN GLOW:
"This book captured my heart and in some ways mirrored my life. After
my child's death, books became an integral part of my journey through
grief. The Angel with the Golden Glow is a book that I can use to
share my story and my child, to show the hope a special angel can give and
the joy another special angel can bring. It is a book to share with others
who face a similar loss or simply to remind us of the inspiring gifts
given by the smallest angels in our lives."
Lynda Crawford, Founder, Zachary Mauri Crawford Tribute Fund ,
Pediatric Oncology, Dana Farber Cancer Institute
"There are few books dealing with the death of a child from a cause
other than sudden death syndrome... and few books for siblings of a child
who dies. Elissa Al-Chokhachy's new book helps fill a void in children's
literature."
The Boston Globe
"The Angel with the Golden Glow gave so much back to me that I
had lost with the death of my son, Joshua Ian. This story, and the story
behind it, has brought me a sense of peacefulness and light that has
lifted my heart as only true angels can."
Christina MacGregor
"The comforting story of Vail, 'who never said a word, but moved so
many' helps put the seemingly senseless deaths of young children into a
meaningful spiritual perspective. This book is destined to become a
standard in church and hospital gift shops, as well as other venues
sensitive to higher spiritual consciousness."
The NAPRA Review
"This book is heaven sent. After our son Brett died, my husband and I
couldn't put it down. A light and beautiful way of dealing with such a
heart rendering subject. Thank you!"
Krysta Stanley
"The Angel with the Golden Glow should be in every library. It
is beautifully written and beautifully illustrated with a universal
message for all."
The National Center for Death Education
"This is a rare book that brings together children and the adults in
their world... that invites into the written story and our own story. This
book will prove to be an essential gift to readers and deserves a wide
distribution."
World Pastoral Care Center
"Elissa Al-Chokhachy writes the way angels fly, and artist Graf
paints like they smile. In love and in plentitude. For families who have
loved and lost. For children who are born special."
The Book Reader
"This most beautiful story is truly from the heart. It should be
required reading for every nurse. What a gift to share with the
world!"
Susan Nordemo, Registered nurse
"The Angel with the Golden Glow offers hope in grief. It holds
joy and grief in the same place, honoring and connecting these two
truths."
Martha Hayward
"How beautiful! There were tears in my eyes... I thought of all the
children in Herman Hospital when my grandson was there years ago. The
story reaches the reader physically, mentally and spiritually. It needs to
be shared with people of all ages everywhere."
Roberta B. Ledgerwood, Retired art teacher
