Description

Angel Winks is a comforting story that gently guides children through the difficult emotions of losing a loved one while helping them find peace in remembrance. It reassures young readers that even though someone may no longer be physically present, their spirit lives on through symbolic signs like a butterfly, a rainbow, or a dream—an angel’s wink from above. Angel Winks reminds children that the bond with their loved one remains unbroken, offering comfort and solace when it’s needed the most.

Advance Praise

"Angel Winks is a heartfelt, magical gift for children and adults alike. Christine Shanahan beautifully reminds us that our connection to those we’ve lost never fades — it simply transforms. Through tender rhymes and meaningful signs, this book opens the hearts of young readers (and their grown-ups) to the comforting presence of loved ones on the Other Side. It’s a gentle guide that shows us how to ask for and recognize the divine signs that are always around us — especially in the moments we need them most. Paired with stunning illustrations, it becomes a keepsake of comfort and love — one that families will turn to again and again."

— MaryAnn DiMarco, spiritual teacher, motivational speaker, psychic medium and author of The Guide(s) Book, Medium Mentor, and Believe, Ask, Act

------------------------

"Angel Winks is the perfect answer to “how can I speak to my child about loss?” The gorgeous pictures and sweet rhymes open up the most thoughtful conversation and ideas around how to deal with grief. I wish a book like this was around when I was a kid. Can’t wait to read what’s next from Christine and Lucy with my kids." 

Jessica H. Mother of 3

"Angel Winks is truly “virtuous”. Addressing life’s challenges with tender words and warm illustrations creates a mindset for helping children, and adults, to face uncertainty with a confidence that fosters a resilience that is so critical for strength of character, peace of mind and the “courage” to live a joyful life."

I loved this book! Very vibrant illustrations, and I loved how there was space to put a picture of a loved one. Such a nice touch. I love books that promote finding magic and meaning in everyday things. I'd recommend this to parents, teachers and librarians for kids.
