Magnificent Children’s Book on Angels by Bestselling Author and TV Host Released

How Angels Got Their Wings by Anthony DeStefano. Sophia Institute Press (Manchester, NH, 2022). 32 pp., $16.95. 

“There isn’t any other story
filled with so much grace and glory
as the song sweet Heaven sings
of how the angels got their wings.”

So resounds the new and celebrated children’s book How Angels Got Their Wings by New York Times bestselling author Anthony DeStefano. In this gem, he brilliantly describes the awe-inspiring sight of myriads of angels in heaven.

Readers will learn about the Archangels—Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—and their special roles and missions in our lives through enthralling stories. They will also discover that they have a Guardian Angel who always accompanies them.

DeStefano further relates the story of the good angels who are faithful to God and the rebellious angels that St. Michael drove out of heaven.

Readers will happily discover the role of angels in their lives as protectors, who aid them in fighting temptation and intercede for them on their journeys to salvation. In this richly illustrated book, children will also encounter the blessing, hope, and consolation that angels impart to us in times of joy and times of sorrow.

A valuable tool for teaching children about our faith, this story also reveals how hosts of angels gather at Church during the Consecration and in the presence of the Holy Eucharist. Additionally, children will learn how angels help us to spread the good news, and teach us love and sacrifice.

The story concludes with “A Prayer to All Angels,” invoking the Archangels, Guardian Angels, and Our Lady Queen of the Angels with the innocence of a child.

Other DeStefano books from Sophia Press include: Joseph’s Donkey, The Beggar and the Bluebird, The Seed Who Was Afraid to be Planted, The Grumpy Old Ox, Our Lady’s Wardrobe, and Our Lady’s Picture Book.

Reviewers of his book The Seed Who Was Afraid to be Planted enthused: “A wonderful book with an important Gospel message.” (Alveda King) “An inspiring story about the transformative power of God’s grace.” (Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas) “Brilliant and simple!” (Delilah Rene, Nationally Syndicated radio host) The same may certainly be said of his new masterpiece How Angels Got Their Wings.
