Incredibly sweet 'baby faces' form this series of Nancy Noel paintings, reminding reviewer mcHAIKU of cupids. The book is also a collection of poetry by our talented new neighbor, John Wm. Sisson. Each poem complements a portrait, lauding miracles, and individual values such as Harmony, Hope, Faith. Humor wasn't specified but all the rhymes bring messages of encouragement. The slender book has large appeal, especially to many who have enjoyed Noel's well-known paintings of Amish children. She enjoys a great deal of success with the sales of prints via a web site where she also offers free e-cards. Noel and Sisson are country-dwellers in different parts of the state, and perhaps will team up again with poems & paintings extolling the autumn beauty for which INDIANA is famous; and/or a memorial print to benefit the Amish families in Pennsylvania whose sanctuary was so recently desecrated.

We have some of Noel paintings, they are so beautiful.The Angel paintings are so very special, they will makeyou cry just looking at their faces. Mr. Sissons'poems fit everyone of the pictures. Enjoyed the book verymuch looking to buy 2 more books.

This book was so beautifully illustrated that it brought tears to my eyes. In each poem I found a different one of my sisters, friends or daughters. I have already bought 4 copies and am looking for 3 more so I can give my sisters and daugthers each a copy in honor of "their" angel.
