RELEASE: Eagerly-Awaited An Angel in the Sky Becomes First Book Endorsed by Santa-America
December 10, 2009 – An Angel in the Sky, by Sheila Booth-Alberstadt, a beautiful children’s book that has brought reassurance to countless families, is back in print and available from SBA Books. Illustrated by Terry Moss, Santa-America has endorsed An Angel in the Sky as a top book to read to children in hospice care. The storybook is full of genuine compassion and brings much needed consolation straight from the author’s heart.
Written specially for chronically ill children or kids and families confronted by end of life issues, An Angel in the Sky is in every way original, as the author seeks to wrap her readers in a warm hug. Reviewers praise An Angel in the Sky for Booth-Alberstadt’s gentleness and compassion and her deft treatment of death and dying.
“Children need to try and make sense of grief in their lives. An Angel in the Sky achieves this in a most wonderful way,” said Dennis Brown, Pastor, St. Michael’s Episcopal Church, Chickasaw, Alabama. While Ernest Berger, President, Santa-America, Inc. said, “In its simplicity and tenderness, it will touch the hearts of all who seek to love a child and family in hospice care, grief and bereavement.” Even end of life organizations praise Booth-Alberstadt’s book. “In a world fascinated by angels, this book provides a sweet playmate for a small child,” said Pat Schwiebert of the Perinatal Loss Organization.
Since 1997, Booth-Alberstadt has volunteered as a hospice care provider. That experience, face to face with people’s mortality, profoundly influences An Angel in the Sky.
“It’s a beautiful experience to hold the hands of a complete stranger, with hope in providing comfort through emotion, touch or prayer, before making their final journey. Being a hospice volunteer has truly helped me appreciate life,” she said.
