Angel Coming is a story about a young girl who's mother is about to have a baby. The young girl's parents tell her the little angel is coming from down the mountain, in a saddle bag.The young girl waits and waits for the little sister she wants to come. Her mother has a little boy, but the young girl loves him just the same.
The author's note reveals that the people from the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky would tell children who asked where babies came from that they came from the mountain carried by an angel on horseback, in a saddle bag. ( )

A little girl awaits the delivery of a new sibling. As thepostman comes on horse she looks for a package big enough to be a baby brother or sister.

While the book is not a completely true story on how babies come to families, it is not one I ever thought of. It is a fun way to think of a baby coming and is probably for children under 5. The art is amazing.

Something in the pacing through me off from the story. I felt I also wanted more at the end.

Angel Coming is cute, heartwarming and visually stunning book. ( )
