A lovely kids' chapter book titled Jeremiah Lucky and the Guardian Angel, has just been published (Guardian Angel Publishing) and is one I'd recommend for your independent readers.
Jane Ellen Freeman, an author of children's books, wrote the book and dedicated it to "all children being raised by a single parent." The book takes the reader through several days of Jeremiah's life, both at school and at home. There is much to be admired in the eight-year-old's home life. His mom is a nurse who loves and supports her son, and in spite of his fireman father's death in the line of duty, Jeremiah is a lucky boy!
The story is a sweet one that in some ways reminds me of Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. And as with that classic film, a guardian angel named Angus McDermit, appears to Jeremiah just when he needs one most!
The illustrations, which I love, were done by Eric Hammond and are reflective of the nurturing atmosphere of the story. Ms. Freeman and Mr. Hammond, however, never fail to keep the book moving at an appropriate and interesting pace for young ones.
The author is a former teacher who divides her time between her home in West Virginia and Florida. Now a full-time writer, Jane writes for children, teens, and adults and is a member of Florida Writers Association andthe Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
