A sweet little angel must find his purpose–could it have something to do with the spirit of Christmas?

The little angel doesn’t yet know what kind of angel he should be. He wants so badly to help people, but nothing he tries is right! Then, when the beautiful sound of bells rings through the air on Christmas Eve, he suddenly senses his purpose: He will light up people’s hearts.

Kerstin Hau tells a tender, touching Christmas story. Selda Marlin Soganci illustrates the tale in her special style: gouache paint and pencils on spruce wood. The wood grain shimmers through her illustrations and gives the pictures in this timeless story a unique warmth.
