Grace, The Guardian Angel Paperback – Nov. 13 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Their Lolo, the girls' grandfather, was a storyteller. His eyes twinkled with tales of distant lands, magical creatures, and life's profound lessons. When he saw Eva's drawing of Grace, something stirred within him. He knew this story was waiting to be told—one that would touch hearts and teach valuable truths. The collaboration between the sisters and their Lolo was a beautiful sight to behold, inspiring all who witnessed it.
And so, with Eva's inspiration and Mia's giggles echoing in his ears, Lolo began to write. He penned the adventures of Grace, who, in this first story, watched over Olivia and Bella as they played in sun-dappled meadows, climbed the bookshelves, worried about their sick grandmother, and sometimes quarreled over toys. Grace whispered courage to Olivia when she faced her first day of school.
But this story was more than whimsical escapades. It delved into deeper waters—the love between siblings, the fragility of material possessions, and the importance of respect. In one poignant scene, Grace encouraged the girls while they watched their sick grandma. The old woman's face was weathered, and her eyes were dimmed by time. She explained that despite her memory loss, she remembered the love she had for them. This story was a profound lesson in life, enlightening the readers and making them ponder over its truths.
Olivia asks, "Why does Grandma forget things?"
Grace replied gently, transmitting her thoughts, "She forgets the small details, my dears, but not the love she feels for you. Remember to cherish her, for she once cradled your mother in her arms, just as she now cradles you."
God's fifth commandment—to honor one's parents and elders—is woven through the pages of this short story. Grace embodies this commandment, teaching Olivia and Bella that respect is a bridge connecting generations. This lesson of respect is not just a moral, but a way of life, making the readers feel respectful and considerate.
When Lolo finished writing, he illustrated the book himself. In this first installment, he maintained Eva's strokes, the essence of her original drawing—simplicity and purity. And so, "Grace, The Guardian Angel" was born—a collaboration between generations, a legacy of love.
As the book traveled across continents, children everywhere embraced Grace. They learned to look beyond appearances, to find magic in everyday moments, and to believe in unseen guardians. And in their hearts, Eva's crayon lines danced alongside Lolo's words.
So, dear reader, if you ever see a soft white cloud drifting across the sky, know that Grace is near, watching over you. And perhaps, just perhaps, she carries a message of patience, faith, hope, love, and kindness—a message whispered from the heart of a child. And that, my friend, is the tale of Grace—the guardian angel who taught us that love transcends time and kindness is our truest legacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guardian Angel for everyone!
Verified PurchaseThe book is very timely as the kids nowadays are focus in social media. The young parents usually feeds their children with gadgets and not being taught about God and guardian angels. I seldom hear the guardian angel prayer being prayed at night by the children. May this book open up the kids mind that there is God and Angel that guard and protect them everyday. What a great reminder not only for the kids but for us adults as well.
