About the Book:
In a mining town in the backwoods of the High Sierras, Daisy James prays for a miracle.This 10-year-old girl is concerned because people in her town are hurting. And the one who seems to be hurting the most is her own mother, who lost a baby a year earlier. Daisy is filled with sorrow inside because her mother, who used to sing and laugh and talk about God, no longer does any of those things. Now she spends her days silent and resigned. So the little girl decides what her town needs is a church, to touch their hearts and spirits, to remind them that God is there, and that His angels are watching over them all. Daisy dreams up a play entitled Come, My Little Angel, and recruits her classmates to play the roles and her beloved music teacher to provide the music. Despite the obstacles working against her, Daisy perseveres, even when her own faith is shaken, until she finds herself face to face with a miracle -straight from the hand of a God who longs to restore us to joy and singing. And when, at the end of the book, you see what God does for this little girl - and for the mother she loves so deeply - you come away knowing nothing - not one single thing - is impossible with God.
Editorial Reviews:
From Library Journal
Ten-year-old Daisy James's mother hasn't been happy since she lost a baby a year ago, and Daisy prays for a miracle to make her sing again. Daisy has written a Christmas play about angels and the Baby Jesus to cheer her up. She just has to convince her music teacher to write the music for her songs, her classmates to participate in the play, and Ringling Brothers circus to let her borrow their big-top tent. Unfortunately, her teacher is best known as the town drunk, her classmates think she's stupid, and Ringling Brothers can't afford to send the tent to her little mining town in the Sierras. But just as things seem to have reached a low point, Noble (Distant Bells, The Veil) makes Daisy's prayers take wing and create a miracle in a heartwarming Christmas tale for all ages and all collections.
