"I am deeply touched by the compassionate honesty of Angel's Ladybugs. How do we talk with children whose hope for the safe return of their mom or dad turned into never ending grief? Helen Sherry's gentle and insightful guidance helps children and caretakers to find appropriate expression of their grief, and even instills a glimpse of miracles and hope. This book will be a precious companion for many military and non military families who are facing the death of a loved one."

"Angel's Ladybugs is a book that will make a difference in a child's life---particularly for those who have lost a daddy or mommy in war. I found hope in Angel's discovery that her father loved her and would always love her. Read it once. Read it a second time."
