This is a group of images for a to be published children’s book with a title of YOUR ANGEL HAS A NAME. It a type of an ABC book, but the images depict both easily identifiable and hidden subjects of a certain letter of the alphabet. Each person in the illustrations is different and distinct in style, manner, attitude, and activity. Each is a guardian angel of a person on earth and the angel brings to that assignment her individuality, which, presumably, influences her living counterpart to respond to the invisible personality she can feel nearby. It is party fantasy, but is meant to recognize that if there are guardian angels out there, here are probably robust ones who lived their own lives in unique and fanciful ways. Their lives are continuing through their charges whom they help, guide, promote and encourage. Your guardian angel is always on your side and enjoying it almost as much as living.
