Publisher's Synopsis
Pearl the Homely Angel is about an angel who had been in heaven for a very long time. The other angels received assignments to go to earth. Some were sent to give a message like Gabriel was sent to Mary. Some were sent to comfort a sick child or a grieving family.
Pearl never received an assignment. When she would ask for one, they would always say, "Not this time, Pearl. Your turn will come later." But the years passed and she never was sent.
Pearl thought that she knew why. It was because she was homely-or ugly. She had large ears that stuck out, a big nose, and unruly curly hair. But worst of all were the freckles that she called polka dots There were everywhere.
Finally, one day, she heard her name being called, "Pearl, Pearl where are you? You have an important job." Then, she realized that it wasn't how you look.
God uses everyone in different ways. You just have to be patient and prepared when He calls.
The book also includes a stand-up angel that can be cut out and fasten together to sit on a child's desk.
